Sunday, 19 July
Kings Head Theatre, 115 Upper Street, Islington, N1 1QW
Theatre: , Performance Art, Tragedy
How Much:
£10.00 (Tickets)
Factory Theatre are the most innovative, daring team producing regularly in London and this show takes their free-spirited ethos one step further than the acclaimed Hamlet they put on last year.
This time around, characters and text are interchangeable - effectively, punters pay £10 to see a show which changes every time, and in which nobody knows who they will be, or what their lines are meant to be. Very free form, sometimes slightly haphazard and once or twice a production, not just verging on but actually accomplishing genius. That's the Factory doing Chekov.
Maybe their best innovation, though has been the tenner price which has seen thousands of young people crying out for a chance to take part in one of their interactive theatre experiences.

The Factory's Seagull is an absolutely brilliant bit of theatre here - I attended one of their previous nights and I highly recommend going to this show if you have the chance. You can read my full review of the show here: http://www.spoonfed.co.uk/spooners/meg-2456/the-factory-theatre-presents-the-seagull-at-the-pleasance-theatre-1120/
A working knowledge of Checkov isn't required but if you haven't read or seen the Seagull before, you'd benefit from taking a quick look at the Wikipedia summary of the play.
