Synopsis: | charts the relationship between two brothers in their late middle age. Josh, the older, is blind and wheelchair bound. Cyril, the younger, is a harassed yet committed carer. Whatever shreds of independence and fulfilment Cyril may once have had - have long since been whittled away and now the two of them are caught on the treadmill of their day to day existence. This is, by turns, very funny, exasperating and deeply sad. Enter Alice, just turned sixty and lonely, and there is a glimmer of hope for Cyril. The play is a sensitive, witty essay on human frailty from a brilliant storyteller. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Joakim Groth | |||||
Synopsis: | A short prologue introduces us to the themes of classic Greek tragedy regarding the notion of fate leading to inevitable death. We are then drawn into an intriguing cultural debate about the artistic and moral responsibilities regarding the creation and criticism of dramatic performance. At the police station, theatre director Karlo Menning (Groth) is questioned about the sudden death from heart failure - the result of strangulation - of theatre critic Matteus Breck. Menning explains that he had recently directed a play Evening With Lama which Breck had described in his review as dull and incomprehensible, perhaps implying more criticism of the direction than the play itself. While denying any knowledge of the death of the theatre critic, the Director clearly reveals feelings of bitter anger over the review, if not simmering hatred under his thin skin. In attacking and destroying his work in such a damning review, he believes the critic is a kind of murderer. What is more crucial than the who-dun-it murder story is the underlying argument over the power play and role of both a critic and a director. | |||||

Synopsis: | Pilgrims flock to a capital city for the Festival of the Nativity, incidentally bringing vital revenue to the failing economy. Large numbers of children roam the streets and the sewers underground and out of the resultant confrontations, a vision is born which starts an epic journey of the spirit. This dark and perceptive story, shot through with humour, exposes, above all, the breaking down of relationships between the young and old and seeks, to some degree, to find a remedy. | |||||
