torn

Two more performances of this “sexy, fast-paced, brutal, funny and at times moving dissection of post-millennium relationships … With echoes of Patrick Marber’s Closer, torn is about the impossibility and possibility of love in a modern world where choices abound and nothing is forever”. Written and directed by award winning Australian writer/director Alex Broun, assisted by Alexander Rondel, torn is set in modern-day New York, with four people in various stages of connection – lawyer Susan (Nadine Basiony) is in a relationship with advertising executive Cade (Osman Aboubakr: that’s them above), and Gerry (Basel Yafi), a voice-over artist, is in love with Susan’s PA Daniella (Kethy Kist).

It will be performed at The Fridge in what’s termed “intimate mode” with the audience fully immersed in the action (“they will be so close that they can literally reach out and touch the actors … although we are hoping that they won’t!”).  Quite apart from the theatrical experience, this means there will be only 70 seats available per performance – early booking is recommended.

There are performances at 5pm and 8pm, with two final shows on 13 October.
