Action at Undermain Theatre

Four friends seek solace in each other's company by sharing a house over the Christmas holidays after an unnamed catastrophic event has thrown the world into chaos. They perform ordinary tasks like cooking a turkey, drinking coffee, fishing, hanging laundry to dry and telling stories as well as unusual pastimes like soft shoe dancing, acting like bears and claiming a lounge chair as their own personal kingdom. Their actions are tinged with a darkly funny absurdity. Action is considered to be among Sam Shepard’s most important works and has been compared to the work of Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter.
