The Factory Brings Hamlet, The Seagull & Round 2 To The Rose

Best known for their production of Hamlet which has been running for three successful years throughout the UK and Europe, The Factory has been hailed as one of the most exciting production companies in London.

The Factory redefine live theatre. There are no sets, no costumes and no props. Just imagination and spontaneity.

Using the original text, Hamlet sees the casting of actors determined by the audience through a game of chance only moments before the show starts. This means each performance is completely different. The audience have the chance to play their part in and bring random objects to be used as props during the performance. Everything is welcome, large or small, ordinary or bizarre.

The Seagull presents the actor's translation of Chekhov's great work, told in a different light each performance. This promises to be an exciting and unique interpretation incorporating Chekhov's rhythms, character dynamics and soulful wit in their own words.

Round 2 is a collection of short plays written by Factory writers. With over thirty new plays the audience get to choose which six plays they'd like to see each night and which actors they'd like to perform them. The results are more like a music gig than a night of new writing.
