The Old Vic Tunnels
3rd Sep-2nd Oct 2010
Theatre
When Nawal Marwan dies, she leaves letters for her twins, to be delivered to their brother and to their father…and the mystery begins: They thought their father was dead and never knew of a brother. The letters plunge them into the maelstrom of their war-ravaged family history. This British premiere of Wajdi Mouawad’s stunning, multi-generational, time twisting epic about the human fall-out from civil war and the power of forgiveness is storytelling at its powerful best. Award-winning Wajdi Mouawad is the most performed contemporary French-speaking playwright at present. A totally original voice in international theatre, Mouawad spans the cultural gaps between his native Lebanon, North America and Europe. A Dialogue and Old Vic co-production in The Old Vic Tunnels. Dialogue bring new international plays to the UK. Mon - Sat 7.45pm; Thurs & Sat 2.30pm. (no matinee on Sat 4 Sept) TICKETS - £25, £20, £12 OLD VIC BOX OFFICE: 0844 8717628
