Shocking Theatre?
Thu, 20 Sept 2007, 03:40 pmI think Class Act shocked some of the opening night audience with "Flatland" last night!
This is no squeaky clean classic - this is edgy new theatre.
Audience reaction begs the question: what is more socially acceptable?
A lonely widower who turns to perversion?
An intellectually diabled person who sees things he shouldn't?
Or a serial killer?
Come and judge for yourself - love it or loathe it - it should illicit a strong response!
Flatland by Caroline Gopalkrishnan and Shirley Van Sanden
A brand new "dramedy" by Caroline Gopalkrishnan and Shirley Van Sanden, directed by Justin Cheek, presented by The Blue Room and Class Act Theatre.
“Fellatio! Come and get it!" A cat, Fellatio, is missing. Flies buzz. A toilet is blocked. The garbos are on strike. A weekend like any other has begun...Merv the Perv collects dog poo. Doug grows vegetables. Ella belly dances. Zoya looks for her lost friend.
A knock on the door…and everything changes.
Who is this stranger? What does he want? Where's he from? And how does he know their secrets?
