About this Event

Can the ancient Spirits of Comedy & Tragedy kick theatre's dead corpse back to life?

Thorax and Andromedus, the Spirits of Comic and of Tragic theatre, look down in horror on the earth, where theatre is dead. Above them loom the gods – Old Night and Desire Itself, who will destroy them for having let theatre die. Across a gulf are the Screen Spirits, who are having a golden age. Our heroes scramble about in mounting panic, till finally deciding to incarnate on earth as humans. But down in the world, things don’t go according to plan…. Columbina Theatre Company combines the verse drama skills of Peter Oswald (Globe Theatre, NT, West End, Broadway,) with the Commedia brilliance of Howard Gayton (Ophaboom,) to offer highly wrought and richly comic language in combination with intensely physicalised fooling and clowning, in a play which lays bare the spiritual crisis of contemporary theatre, and asks, what will we do without it?


Age Restriction: Not recommended for those under 12 years
