Cardiff’s pub theatre The Other Room announces Spring 2018 season |
Cardiff’s pub theatre The Other Room, located in Porter’s and winner of The Stage’s Fringe Theatre of the Year Award, will open its Spring 2018 season LOVESICK with a production of Caryl Churchill’s A Number. A Number, (running 13 February – 3 March) is visionary playwright Caryl Churchill’s modern classic of science, family and loss. A fearless and affecting dissection of the relationship between father and son, A Number strikes at the heart of what it is to love unconditionally – and the tragic failure to connect. A Number will be directed by Ed Madden (Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons) and star Stevie Raine and Brendan Charleson. Director Ed Madden comments: “No writer in the contemporary British theatre has innovated so regularly or rigorously as Caryl Churchill. Her work inspires me to be a smarter, braver, truer artist, and so it is a challenge and a thrill to be bringing her extraordinary play A Number to Welsh audiences for the first time. It is a play as intellectually provocative as it is deeply felt, and I am itching to start work on it with this remarkable pair of actors. In fewer than four years, The Other Room has become a vital feature of the Cardiff theatre ecology. As the building begins a new chapter under the artistic direction of Dan Jones, I am chuffed and humbled to be a part of its unfolding story.” The LOVESICK season continues 27 March – 14 April with Dan Jones directing his first play as Artistic Director of The Other Room – the brand new All But Gone, written by Matthew Trevannion (Bruised, Leviathan). Jones will also direct the final play of the season - The Effect by Lucy Prebble, running 24 April – 12 May. Tickets for The Other Room’s Spring 2018 season are available now from www.otherroomtheatre.com.
