‘as unforgettable and moving as any theatre I've seen’
The Guardian
‘a never-to-be-repeated unique moment of magic’ Time Out
‘not just verging on but actually
accomplishing genius’
Spoonfed
Witness this weeks attempt to create a detailed and dynamic, never to be heard again, improvised translation of Chekhov’s masterpiece.
The Factory tell their version of this great story in the words that arrive in their heads at each moment, relating the dialogue to what they are being thrown by each other and the environment they find themselves in.
NOTE:
As The Factory shall bring nothing with them, including sets, costume or props, you may be asked to lend some of your personal possessions for use in the show.
Alongside what you may already have about your person the company will be looking for; a romantic novel, a literary magazine, fishing gear, an addictive substance, breakfast, a game for six people, and a Seagull.
