The Dance of Death
Conor McPherson’s darkly comic version of Strindberg’s classic about a toxic marriage starring Robert Glenister, Hattie Morahan and Blake Ritson.
Set in a military outpost off the coast of Sweden, the Captain and his wife Alice embark on a series of spiteful games in an attempt to alleviate the hell they’ve created for themselves. Events take a new and disturbing turn when Kurt, a divisive figure from their past, arrives back on the scene.
The Captain ….. Robert Glenister
Alice ….. Hattie Morahan
Kurt ….. Blake Ritson
Piano performed by Peter Ringrose
Directed by Gemma Jenkins
Written in 1900 Strindberg originally intended to call this dissection of a marriage gone bad, The Vampire. The story twists and turns around the febrile energy given off by this trio of characters as they each feed off the unhappiness of the other.
Airs Sunday 19 Mar 2023 at 19:30 on BBC RADIO 3 - remember BBC radio can be listened to anywhere in the world for free.

American Buffalo is in previews......... I am going to start entering the lottery for rush tickets EVERY DAY that I am free to do so. Usually my mother is the insane theater person in the family, but I can't pass up the opportunity to see Sam Rockwell and Laurence Fishburne do David Mamet. I'm certain I can convince her to join me, despite her less than charitable opinion of Mamet (understandable, tbh). Mom is to plays and musicals how I am to live music; if the opportunity presents itself, she'll go for it.
I AM pissed off that I missed Shining City the other night, so I'm going to see if I can find a performance of it somewhere on YouTube, maybe. Or even a recording of it from a theater company that I can pay for! I don't care. Conor McPherson is one of the great contemporary Irish playwrights, I loved The Weir, and I'm dying to see it somehow.
