An interview with the team behind RHINOCEROS and THE ARSONISTS

Until 15 December

RHINOCEROS

When a rhinoceros charges across the town square one Sunday afternoon, Berenger thinks nothing of it. Soon, however, rhinoceroses are popping up everywhere and Berenger’s whole world is under threat. What will it take for him to stand up to the increasing menace of rhinocerisation?

Ionesco’s iconic satire on apathy and conformity is given its first major UK revival since its Royal Court premiere in 1960, which was directed by Orson Welles, starring Laurence Olivier.

1 November-15 December

THE ARSONISTS

Fires are becoming something of a problem. But Biedermann has it all under control. A respected member of the community with a loving wife and a flourishing business, surely nothing can get to him. The great philanthrope, he is happy to meet his civic duty and give shelter to two new houseguests, and when they start filling the attic with petrol drums, he’ll help them wire the fuse. 

Frisch’s parable about accommodating the very thing that will destroy you is given its first major UK revival since its Royal Court premiere in 1961, which was directed by Lindsay Anderson with Alfred Marks and John Thaw in the cast.
