Synopsis: | When a couple of music hall artistes end up in enemy territory during the Spanish Civil War they have to perform in front of Franco`s troops and Republican prisoners. One is more willing than the other and the clashes of taste and political attitude make for comic entertainment with a sting in the tail. Despite its cast of just two actors, Paulino and Carmela, Sanchis Sinisterra`s play has proved to be popular all around Latin America, as well as Italy, Germany and Britain. Carlos Saura made a film of it. "A rich cocktail of verse, prose, singing and dancing." The Stage "An absorbing play which blends in a classic manner uproarious farce with deep tragedy." Morning Star. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Helmut Kohl famously declared that European integration was 'a question of war and peace in the twenty-first century'. To coincide with the start of this new period of European history, The New Europe takes a satirical look at the implications of political developments. What happens when leaders sit down for dinner, tourists embark on a journey to the past, and kids play politics on the streets of Rome. . .? Can Captain Euro help? And why are there so many balls around? The New Europe is a polemical drama destined to cause controversy well beyond the theatre. | |||||

Genre: | Full Length Comedy | |||||
| Parts: | Male | 2 | Female | 2 | ||
Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | By Juli Disla, translated by John London. An ingenious comedy. Four young characters live through the ups and downs of their interlocking love-lives around an empty swimming pool. But there is a twist to the action: nowhere in the text is the gender of any character defined. The dialogue is beautifully fluent and humorous, while at the same time conveying all the growing pains in relationships. This is a challenge to any ambitious director. Set: single set, with a section of a swimming pool. 4 men; or 2 men and 2 women; or 4 women; or 4 men and 4 women. | |||||
