David Foster Wallace

Rescheduled from 23rd Novemer.

Conceived and designed by visual artists Holden and Conroy, Arnolfini presents a selection of pieces from Foster Wallace's collection of short stories characterised by dark dry humour, alienation, and unconventional sexuality.

A cast of four actors, along with projections, live music and props are involved in the presentation of four interviews and one short story from the author's remarkable book, which through a series of unspoken questions examines the possibility of complete sincerity and truth within a modern relationship. Foster Wallace's text is examined through a variety of staging techniques, incorporating ear-pieces and autocues, as well as dramatic monologues - punctuated by unspoken questions from the audience in the form of a projected letter Q.
