Whispering Beasts

Three short plays from a 20th century master, performed together by award-winning theatre company Whispering Beasts.

Act Without Words I
Alone in a deserted landscape, a man hunts for shelter, teased and tormented by an unseen force which takes away as easily as it gives.

Catastrophe
An autocratic Director, his bewildered Assistant and a subservient Performer are whipping themselves into a frenzy to avoid a catastrophic performance on the eve of their opening night.

Rough for Theatre II
In the dead of night, Morvan and Bertrand are deciding the destiny of a man who is contemplating a fatal jump from the window of his fifth floor apartment.

Charged with humour, anger and humanity, these plays create a surreal yet familiar world; a world of mystery and mercurial characters, where control of everything is undetermined and salvation can emerge from the most unexpected places.
