Barbican Pit Theatre, Silk Street, City, EC2Y 8BQ

Theatre: , Melodrama

How Much: £15.00 (Tickets)
A co-production between the National Theatre of Scotland and TEAM (New York-based Theatre of the Emerging American Moment) this show promises a physical, arresting multimedia tour of the American experience from the founding fathers up to Obama. The context? Disaster.

From hurricane-damaged New Orleans to civil war-ravaged Kentucky via a handful of other traumatic events, this mini-epic uses the perspective of a young optimist to look at the process of grief and healing in the world's most powerful, most vulnerable state.

With a stellar production team and rave notices already received, this is set to be an intelligent, searing highlight of the Barbican's autumn season.

Part of the Barbican's Bite09 season.
