Strindberg’s Apartment @ The New Diorama Theatre

A couple of months ago I visited London’s newest theatre, the New Diorama in Euston, to see David Benson in his award winning portrayal of Kenneth Williams, ‘Think No Evil Of Us – My Life With Kenneth Williams‘. This post is an update to tell you about their new season of performances, ‘Getting Connected‘ (this season being named in a tribute to the fact that it took months after their opening to get a telephone and internet connection to the premises!)

There are 12 productions coming up this season from now until May, with the first being the World Premiere of Simon Reade’s adaptation of ‘Strindberg’s Apartment‘, presented by the faction theatre co. Following on from their last performance at the venue, Schiller’s ‘The Robbers’, this time they are presenting five of Strindberg’s short stories, taking place simultaneously in an ingenious 360 degree set based on the blueprint of an apartment block.
You can book tickets for this fascinating production, which runs until February 26, at the website here – and just to note that on Tuesdays you can get hold of two tickets for the price of one. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again – while I love watching movies, a night munching popcorn doesn’t compare to the experience of watching a great play in the intimate setting of a small theatre, where the prices are often little more than the cost of a cinema ticket…
