Pip Utton

So famous (or infamous) is the name of Casanova that it has gone into our dictionaries to describe men who are, for want of a better word, ‘popular’ with women. This is a story that performer Pip Utton has been wanting to explore for some time.

Now in his brand new play Pip Utton manages to fuse theatre and the spoken word with dance, to bring an added element to the story. Pip obviously plays Casanova and has almost all the dialogue. He is joined on stage by a young contemporary French dancer, Marguerite Chaigne, who has few words to say but she portrays all six of his conquests. Comic and moving, surprising and beautiful Casanova is a totally entertaining piece of theatre.
