LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

September 27, 2015

A beguiling and jocular soire of magic, music and dance.

The Place Theatre, 17 Dukes Rd, London WC1H 9PY

On: October 1st / 2nd / 3rd

At: 8pm

Lea has worked with composer Steve Blake, designer Tim Spooner and a group of

distinguished Welsh performers to create a wonderful work evocative of the decaying

world of music hall.

Besieged by an ever shifting and bewildering miscellany of inscrutable and enigmatic

props, the last sorry remnants of a legendary music hall family doggedly endeavour

to reconstruct fragments of misremembered routines and hazily recollected punchlines,

in a hopeless attempt to revive their all but forgotten Music Hall act.

(Ladies and Gentlemen) transcends language, is incredibly inventive and entertaining and,

perhaps most importantly, probes at the boundaries of performance and dance.
