Play Dead

One dog crate, two microphones, seventeen grapefruits.

Echo has a broken heart. A gutted-from-the-inside, cut-off-your-toes broken heart. Help is just a phone call away, but he opts for a Classical (feral) form of revenge. A darkly comic new play with a queer, unruly take on Ovid’s myth of Narcissus. 

 

Written by Bailey Edwards. Directed by Mia Hull. Produced by Sophie Ignatieff. Featuring a live sound design by Ellie Isherwood.
