Beast

Work:: Beast (S01702753673)

Combining terse dialogue with lilting verse and live performance with flickering film footage, this evocative, lyrical play tells the lustful love story of an aging artist and a young prostitute. Egon and Valie find themselves unexpectedly drawn to each other after a chance drunken exchange and a night of paid-for fantasy turns into a passionate relationship fuelled by whiskey and art. Against the backdrop of clanking docks, swarming fish and a swirling sea, their affair intensifies before reaching its heartbreaking conclusion.
