EVENT The Last Women
DATE Monday 20 to Saturday 25 April 2009, 8pm (Wed & Sat matinee 2.45pm)
Presented by Triangle Theatre Company in association with the Belgrade Theatre. Written and Directed by Carran Waterfield.
Forming part of the award-winning company’s 21st anniversary celebrations, Triangle Theatre Company present the dramatisation of what is possibly one of the most intriguing and innovative theatre performances to be staged this year.
With a cast of nine actors and drawing on a far-reaching network of experts, including local historians, a Texan historian of execution and relatives of condemned prisoners, The Last Women combines the carnival of gallows humour, the drunken dizziness of a night club, the ritual of a last supper and heartbreaking farewells.
Celebratory and defiant, bold, haunting and provocative, this performance offers a daring confrontation with death, providing audiences with the opportunity to join the women in their cells or witness the event from the safety of the crowd.
VENUE B2, Belgrade Theatre, Coventry
TICKETS £6 - £12 (concessions £6 - £10)
