LAZARUS THEATRE COMPANY
Lazarus’ Season of Rebellion;
Season of Rebellion continues with a brand new adaptation of Euripides’ sexual and liberating, The Bacchae.
Lazarus returns to The Tristan Bates as part of The Camden Fringe for John Ford’s daring and revolutionary, Tis Pity She’s a Whore.
The Bacchae
After Euripides
Lazarus’ season of Rebellion and Revolution continues with Euripides’ final play The Bacchae in a new production Directed by Gavin Harrington-Odedra and sees us transform The Blue Elephant Theatre into the stadium of Dionysus.
A wanderer returns, driving the people of the city into a ferocious and liberating sexual frenzy. His actions excite, his message thrills, but his mission is revenge.
Euripides’ hedonistic and uncompromising final play comes to the stage in an all-new, devised, ensemble production. Through the use of spoken word, movement and music, this electrifying new production examines belief, sexuality and liberation.
The Bacchae plays from the 19th April through to 7th May at The Blue Elephant Theatre, Tuesday – Saturday at 8pm.
Tis Pity She’s a Whore
John Ford
Continuing our season of Rebellion and Revolution, one of the most provocative and daring plays of the period, John Ford’s shocking and taboo, Tis Pity She’s a Whore. Returning to The Tristan Bates Theatre and running as part of The Camden Fringe, Tis Pity is Directed by Lazarus Artistic Director Ricky Dukes.
Ferocious, murderous and bloody. Love will not conquer all. Love will destroy all.
John Ford’s Jacobian masterpiece follows two young lovers, Anabella and Giovani, caught in the grip of sexual adventure and discovery. But their love is damned and their sex is a sin; they are Brother and Sister. When the siblings’ love is discovered – their world is changed forever.
Tis Pity She’s a Whore plays from the 23rd August through to 10th September at The Tristan Bates Theatre, Monday – Saturday at 8pm.
