Details

An unruly comedy with a dark and savage streak. Set over the course of one increasingly unhinged night at the Oktoberfest fair in Munich, Odon von Horvath's love story about impoverished youth and their affluent, predatory elders is an absolute stage fixture in German-speaking countries, while having received scarcely any exposure whatsoever in the English-language theatre in the eight decades since it was originally penned. This reading will seek to take an overdue first step in rendering this major European classic to a fresh audience, presenting a brand-new Scots translation of the piece by Alan McKendrick, who also directs. Rehearsed Reading. Running time: approx 2hrs
