The White Bear Theatre, recently reopened following a £1.3m redevelopment, presents Brice Stratford's professional world premiere production of Orson Welles first play, Bright Lucifer - the first in the White Bear's Lost Classics Project, running November 8th - December 3rd 2016, White Bear Theatre. Press night: November 10th, 2016, 7.30pm.
Jack Flynn's in movies - "creature features" - quite the celebrity, as far as men in rubber masks go. Celebrity enough that when his wife disappears in a flurry of sex scandals and drug parties, his face ends up on front pages. On the verge of a nervous breakdown, Jack retreats from the world with his brother Bill to an isolated family cabin, planning a long weekend of whisky, fishing and brotherly love. All doesn't go to plan. As the brothers descend into madness and paranoia, only one question matters; who or what is Eldred Brand?Orson Welles began writing Bright Lucifer in 1932, at just 16 years of age. His first solo-authored work, the script flirts with incest, paedophilia, whisky, God, The Devil, death, illusion, monsters, murder, love, hate, and everything in-between. Only recently rediscovered, Bright Lucifer has never had a full run or been professionally produced; this will be its premiere, with the blessing of the Welles Estate.IF YOU GO:
