Reviews of Arcola Theatre

Visit London review of Arcola Theatre

Reviewed by: Visit London
Dubbed ‘a powerhouse of new work’ by the Observer, the Arcola is famous for showcasing cutting-edge writing alongside classic drama, music and comedy. There’s a strong community streak — sessions include heritage storytelling — while the building is earning its green spurs with energy reduction schemes and LED lighting. A true pioneer.

    Performance

    24 Nov 2009 to 19 Dec 2009

    Three British writers visit Central Asia, in search of some local colour, local food, local customs. Instead of attending a stuffy party at the British embassy, they attend an execution. The next morning the consular canapés sit uneaten, whilst three hungover civil-servants deal with the onset of a crisis; three missing British citizens. JMK Director Award Winner Jamie Harper directs Adam Brace's uncompromising and hilarious play about savagery and how we need it.
