THE CHAIRS
In a lighthouse on the edge of civilisation an old man and an old woman are waiting.
They await the arrival of the town’s people to their home. Everyone, from the Mayor to the Blacksmith, the Colonel to the Courtesan will be there. It is possible the Emperor himself may attend. Because tonight, after a long life of bewilderment and underachievement, the old man has finally decided to tell all. He will reveal who he really is, what he should really have become, and, ultimately impart the secret of what life is really all about – a message that may indeed have the power to save humanity!
Eugene Ionesco’s The Chairs is one of the most merciless and unrelenting interrogations of life and living ever written for the stage; a mind-spinning tragic farce, that is at once as heartbreaking as it is hilarious.
There will be a post-show discussion following the performance on 29 May.
“inspired craziness in a Blue Raincoat triumph
…..thumpingly good”
