Work:: Screaming in Advance (S01859772582)
After the award-nominated production of 'Lot and His God" that we presented in November 2012, we are delighted to be welcoming Howard Barker back to The Print Room for a series of readings performed by his own company: The Wrestling School. This two-day festival comprises four new plays in rehearsed readings performed by members of the company, and Howard Barker in discussion with the company and the journalist Mark Brown.
Production:: Concentration/In the Depths of Dead Love/Dying in the Street/Distance (T1482579667)
Fri May 3 15:00 -
Concentration - A play of neurotic intensity which puts Barker's most poetic form at the service of a play whose protagonists are lovers of contrasting ages and murderous ideals. Fri May 3 19:30 -
In the Depths of Dead Love - A fable of the Chinese feudal poet Chin, exiled to the remotest province and the proprietor of a bottomless well. Who may choose to die in this well, and for what reason, becomes his obsession... Sat May 4 15:00 -
Dying in the Street - The death-wish of an entire community is embodied by the inhabitants of a single street. Like Wedekind's 'Lulu', its main protagonist is an agent of destruction and despair, but unlike Wedekind's heroine she is a woman distinguished by her virginity and age. Sat May 4 19:30 -
Distance - This intense chamber piece is a meditation on love and grief.
