Mon 3 Sep 7.30pm

Joseph K’s sushi delivery on his 30th birthday is interrupted by two strangers placing him under arrest. Soon after his phone stops working, his passport is blocked and hot water pours out of the cold tap. Determined to clear his name, Joseph K must navigate a maddening and illogical world of bureaucracy in Tom Basden’s darkly comic re-working of Kafka’s novel, The Trial.

Land Without Words

A play by Dea Loher
Translated by David Tushingham

Directed by Darius Lukas
Designed by Guoda Jaruseviciute

An amateur production by arrangement with Rosica Colin Ltd

Dates & Times
Thu 6 Sep 7.30pm
Fri 7 Sep 2.00pm & 7.30pm

Land Without Words follows one painter’s journey into ‘K’ – an enigmatic city in the Middle East, where raw violence and never-ending warfare is the norm. Denied the comfortable distance of the western spectator, the unnamed artist begins to question the purpose and duty of art in the face of horrific human suffering.

Written by multi-award winning German playwright Dea Loher, this is an unforgettable parable of war, creativity and perception.

An amateur production by arrangement with Samuel French Ltd

Mon 10 Sep 7.30pm
Tue 11 Sep 2.00pm & 7.30pm

Six birds co-exist within the confines of a cage, each totally absorbed in their own isolated, idiosyncratic worlds. Although the birds seem to talk to each other, they never truly communicate. When ‘The Mistress’ introduces an untamed bird into her menagerie of ‘sweeties’, their seemingly peaceful existence is disrupted. The ‘Wild One’ has no intention of remaining captive…

Hmm... the Duchess Theatre really doesn't suit Rock of Ages and I really don't think Burn the floor will do the job of putting bums on seats at the Shaftsbury Theatre.

Burn the Floor will only be very temporary, Memphis is supposed to take over the Shaftesbury next year. The Duchess does seem a bit small for a loud show such as ROA but they're clearly not selling the roughly 1500 seats in the Shaftesbury on a regular basis and the Broadway show downsized to a similar theatre a few years ago and is still running, so who knows? First let's see how well ROA will do at all with the new cast come September.

But the Duchess really isn't a "musical" theatre...

I am loving the spiegeltent in southbank, it feels like you are being transported to a different world... hope that more tickets will be released soon!

It's gone a bit quieter on the Wonderground front recently.

FYI Trailblazers code just posted is invited guest list only.

A&E seem to be playing the RoA soundtrack tonight - not sure what radio station they have on but it's cheered up my night!

Talking of RoA does anyone know of any current offers? I can't seem to find any and would like to see it once more with the original cast.

Day seats (£25) are imho best value. Especially if you get the seats in the second row on the left (BB19+BB20).

Other current offers include Theatre fix tickets for £15 (but only for students) and a Whatsonstage membership + ROA ticket for £20 (but cheapest tickets start at £20 anyway, it'll be back of the circle).
