Naked Emotion presents "Britannicus"
by Jean Racine
in the Blue Room Studio, Northbridge
from November 15 to December 1
Thursdays through Saturdays at 9:30pm
with an additional performance on Sunday November 25 at 7pm

Directed by David Meadows
starring Mark Blades, Amanda Chesterton, Keziah Gillam
Anthony Harwood, Angelique Malcolm, and Tony Petani

Do you have a nosy mother whoÂ’s always sticking her nose in where it doesnÂ’t belong? Do you have friends who "only have your best interests at heart" when they interfere? Do you have any really annoying relatives?

If so, then Jean RacineÂ’s 1669 story of a psychotic Roman emperor and his massively dysfunctional family will seem disturbingly familiar.

Using a heavily edited version of the text, and played in a bare playing space, this is the first in Naked Emotion's planned series of raw, minimalist, "no-bullshit-classics".

Racine's play reminds us that the trials, tribulations, and traumas of family life are a timeless phenomenon.

Tix: $15 & $12
Bookings: 9227 7005
