Romance is virtual. Memories are trapped in the walls. Violence is only a stone's throw away. In the age of artificiality, connection feels as near as it is far. How do we settle for the little we know and commit to the love we have? How do we find meaning in our information obsessed society? And who put that hedgehog in the microwave? This is an intimate and exciting new revival of Caryl Churchill's kaleidoscopic modern classic, featuring over 30 scenes with more than 60 different characters. Directed by Rebecca-Jo Roberts and Daniel Metcalfe and produced by Out of Pocket, a brand new theatre company. "Creatively concieved, excellently directed and beautifully acted" Joanna Weir Ouston - Director, actor, writer and world-leading Linklater voice practitioner. "A company overflowing with intimacy and creative heart." Kirsty McFarland - Movement practitioner, actor and director. Bad language
It was first staged at The Oxford School of Drama with a company of third year acting students who have reassembled to bring this poignant show to The Cockpit Theatre at The Camden Fringe 2024.
