A night of romance like no other. Charged, funny, wistful and dark, One Night Stand is a tale suffused with charm and lyrical passion. "Morning has broken and it really is like the first morning. No blackbirds to speak of but Jesus, the crows. . . I draw the rug up over my thoughts and cover us both in the darkness of love." | |||||

| Parts: | Male | 1 | Female | - | ||

Notes: | by Lazzi. Devised by David W W Johnstone and Sandy Grierson | |||||
Synopsis: | Lazzi's production of the Oresteia is an elegantly classical yet astonishingly real rendition of Aeschylus' tragic trilogy: Agamemnon, The Choephorae and The Furies dating from 458 BC. In this adaptation, the hero, Orestes, appears before us, his judges, to answer to the crime of matricide. Sandy Grierson (Best Actor Critics' Award for Theatre in Scotland 2007) plays Orestes in an intense solo portrayal that tests the limits of physical performance as it plunges the audience directly into Aeschylus' timeless themes of revenge, torture, guilt and justice. Robert Potter's 1886 translation has been pared down to an absolute minimum. Staged with extreme simplicity, with a haunting soundtrack by Davey Anderson (Rupture; Black Watch; Snuff), this is a visually stunning and challenging piece of theatre that sears its place in the mind. | |||||
