Notes: | also performed as (Welsh translation by Owen Martell. Sherman Cymru presents a new, bold Welsh language production, with live music from the Acid Casuals, as part of this year's National Eisteddfod in Bala. Ceisio'i Bywyd Hi is a series of scenes, monologues, songs and negotiations between unnamed characters, that tell a story. . .that conjures a woman, referred to as Ann, who at various times is a an urban terrorist, a proud mother, a humanitarian worker, a scientist, a porn star, an artist and even a brand new model of a car. And yet she never appears. The result is a modern-day fable - a tragic comedy for our time. From material greed to unconditional self-sacrifice, from unprotected sex to religious fundamentalism, this is a provocative vision of a world of fear, detachment and alienation and a poignant portrayal of contemporary obsessions. 2009) | |||||
Synopsis: | Martin Crimp's coolly European meditation in 17 scenes on a woman, also called Anne - who may be a terrorist on the run, or an artist who has turned her suicide attempts into her art, or a traveller who has her photo taken by millionaires' swimming pools and in slums, or a woman whose children have been slaughtered in civil war, or even a child herself - is not an easy text for any director. And particularly not for one right at the start of her career and without lots of resources. Lyn Gardner, Guardian | |||||

Synopsis: | "And I know what you're thinking: you're thinking it must be pretty easy to kill people who are simply clinging on to life. But the people clinging on to life are the most dangerous people of all." Clair wants to be kissed - but not now - and certainly not by her husband. Chris wants to celebrate his new job by driving into the oncoming traffic. Jenny arrives to complain about the screaming children - but the garden's empty, and the key to the playroom's disappeared. Just what strange game is being played here? Three characters fight to make sense of a surreal and collapsing world in this darkly comic mystery. | |||||

But when the motives for the war start to look disturbingly personal, his wife becomes desperate to hold on to his love.

Notes: | Original Playwright - Marivaux | |||||
Synopsis: | "For a writer often thought of as coldly mathematical, there is something strangely unresolved about this particular Marivaux play. Everything hinges on a young woman's disguise as a chevalier, ostensibly to witness first-hand the mercenariness of a potential husband, Lelio. Having befriended the monstrous Lelio, she agrees to rescue him from the marital clutches of a middle-aged countess by wooing the lady herself. Her apparent aim is to protect the countess's money and expose Lelio's deviousness. But is that her actual motive? Marivaux's real preoccupation is erotic power and the fluidity of gender. Unlike the Rodgers and Hammerstein heroine who enjoyed being a girl, Marivaux's protagonist clearly relishes being a man. She stresses her attractiveness, is ready to fight a duel with Lelio and, in two extraordinary seduction scenes, reduces the countess to grovelling humiliation. She may, in Crimp's witty translation, sardonically announce, "I see blood on a regular basis," but she is driven by an androgynous narcissism that links her with the cross-dressing Dietrich and Hepburn heroines of 20th-century cinema.

Notes: | Original Playwright - Botho Strauss. English text by Martin Crimp | |||||
Synopsis: | In a journey across contemporary Germany, Cate Blanchett features in this delicately surreal play. Whisking us down a rabbit hole and into a wonderland-like world, Gross und Klein transports us to a hotel dining room in Morocco where Lotte (Blanchett) sits alone. Courageously optimistic and perpetually disappointed Lotte is in constant search for human connection. She is rejected by her husband, unrecognised by old friends and unfamiliar with her family. Whether she is outside a window peeping in or buzzing on an unanswered intercom this iconic protagonist never quite fits. Like Carrolls Alice, sometimes Lotte is too big for her surroundings and sometimes too small to be noticed within them. | |||||

Petrell abandons Marie for the ruthless underdog Irene. Marie doesn't waste any time weeping - Desiree wants her. | |||||
