Details

A game of sexual pursuit. When originally staged (1924) it became the subject of an obscenity trial. Ten characters meet casually, make love - and move on. The prostitute and the soldier...the soldier and the chambermaid...the chambermaid and the young man...round and round in the circle game... London, 2017. The disparate lives of the city's inhabitants are thrown together by the caprice of desire and fate. This portrait of the human need for another boldly reimagines the infamous original to interrogate modern attitudes to gender, sexuality, and social status. With over three thousand different versions of the show, which story will you see?
