AN EXECUTION
(by invitation only)
An Execution was originally created for Shunt in 2000, and played in CPT in 2019.
The audience enters a prison cell. They are locked in with a condemned man whose crime is obscure. He scribbles his last thoughts on the floor until the room is a mess of charcoal. And then the walls disintegrate. It is the end.
‘A surprising and sometimes shocking piece of theatre.’
(Time Out - Critics’ Choice)
‘Exquisitely crafted silliness.’
(The Stage)
‘The brilliantly-executed performances from all four actors, and the rich onslaught of surprising and entertaining visual images are more than enough to keep us enthralled' in our captivity.’
