Messengers
6 Jun
Writer Elliot Somerfield
Director Grainne Robson
Three of Shakespeare’s Messengers from Hamlet, King Lear and Love Labour’s Lost meet in a void, well, a café. They try to understand themselves and their predicament before they have their “admittance” and presumably come to an end in what little life they have. A love letter to absurdism and the work of Tom Stoppard.
