Traps

7 Sep 2022 to 18 Sep 2022

What makes us who we are?

– … where’s the baby?

– In the garden.

What makes us who we are?
Jack, Syl and Albert live together.
Oh, and there’s Del who was living with them elsewhere.
And Christie, Jack’s sister.
And her husband Reg…
Six people in a room – in the city, and in the country.

An Escher drawing for the theatre, TRAPS is an “impossible object” where everything that happens is ‘real’ but not everything adds up.

“Everything is possible in the theatre.” – Caryl Churchill

NOTE: You too are in the room as TRAPS is an immersive non-interactive performance.

★★★★★ Laurence Strangio’s direction is flawless and deeply attuned to the text, … a production that anyone who cares about Beckett – or indeed acting – should rush to see.‘ – Cameron Woodhead, The Age 2018, on ‘Krapp’s Last Tape’

Written by Caryl Churchill
