Based on the famous Luke Rhinehart novel The Dice Man, The Dice House, a comic play about patients surrendering their decision-making process to the roll of a die, comes to the Hen and Chickens Theatre for a two-week run. It was a sell-out hit during its West End run five years ago so this is a good chance to see it again in a small venue.  

It's also worth noting that as well as all the good press it got, Luke Rhinehart cited it as the best adaptation of his novel yet, saying:

'For years people have been adapting my novel The Dice Man into various other forms - plays, screenplays, TV series, TV documentary. Often I have been disappointed with the results, lamenting that the adapter so completely failed to see the humour and absurdity of dice-living. Paul's play is a joyous exception. It is a wonderful marriage of his great comic talent and the absurd material of my otherwise serious book.'
