Play something kitty-cat-ish . . . sweet. Imagine I' ve died and you' re gallopingthrough fields. As their thirtieth wedding anniversary approaches, Alice and Edgar are lockedin a bitter struggle. They' ve driven away their children and their friends. Theirrelationship is sustained by taunts and recriminations. When a newcomerbreaks into the midst of the fray, their insular lives threaten to spin out of control. We' re all just bodies and when we' re dead we' re worm food, but as long asyour body keep going, flailing or thrashing about, we are duty bound to fight,to scratch and kick, until you' re fucked. That' s my philosophy. Laced with biting humour, The Dance of Death is August Strindberg' s landmarkdrama about a marriage pushed to its limits, adapted in a thrilling newversion by Rebecca Lenkiewicz. The Dance of Death opened at the Bath Theatre Royal' s Ustinov Theatre inMay 2022 before going on UK tour in an Arcola Theatre, Cambridge ArtsTheatre, Royal & Derngate, Northampton, Oxford Playhouse and TheatreRoyal Bath Productions co-production.
