28 Sept - 22 Oct 2011: Reduced Circumstances present PHAEDRA'S LOVE by Sarah Kane at the Arcola Theatre
‘News. Another rape. Child murdered. War somewhere. Few thousand jobs gone. But none of this matters ‘cause it’s a royal birthday.’
A major revival of Sarah Kane’s blackly comic reworking of Seneca’s classical tragedy of monarchy, incest and fatal obsession, which premiered in 1996: ‘Pure theatre. Or rather impure theatre: dirty, alarming, dangerous’ (Observer)”
Supported by the National Lottery through the Arts Council England.
Starring Joanna Roth as Phaedra, Nicholas Shaw as Hippolytus, Rupert Holliday Evans as Theseus and Emma Keele as Strophe.
Director: Bronwen Carr
Venue: Arcola Theatre, 24 Ashwin Street, London, E8 3DL
Dates: 28 September - 22 October 2011
Performance times: Mon - Sat 7.30pm; Thurs & Sat Matinees at 4.00pm on 6, 8, 13, 15, 20 & 22 October
*Pre-show workshops for schools/colleges prior to Thursday matinees. Contact info@reducedcircumstances.co.uk for further information.
