THE FLOOD
Thursday 5 to Saturday 21 March
Thu/Fri/Sat 7.30pm at Draper Tenants Hall, 1 Howell Walk;
�12 (conc �9) from http://se1.info/1zNPT0y
This play about World War I received its premiere at the
Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2014. It alternates between a
British soldier's experiences of the hell of warfare and the
impassioned exchanges between him and his lover, a field
nurse. Actor and director Steve Lambert stars as the
soldier. His lover is played by Susanne Gschwendtner. This
run of the show - in a small hall just yards from the
Elephant & Castle junction - is a concerted effort between
the Draper Residents' Association, Badac Theatre and
Infallible Productions to bring contemporary, affordable and
important theatre in non-theatrical spaces and to involve
local residents more closely in the arts.
