Made In China to Bring TONIGHT I'M GONNA BE THE NEW ME to Soho Theatre
Made In China return to London with their new show, Tonight I'm Gonna Be The New Me, exposing how we conduct our relationships amidst a reality that just won't live up to what the movies promised.
A woman takes to the stage. A man watches from the wings. They both wonder if their love will survive what's about to happen.
Tonight I'm Gonna Be The New Me is an arresting physical endurance act that crashes headfirst into an impossibly true love story - and out the other side. Based on the real relationship of founders Tim Cowbury and Jess Latowicki, it pierces the heart of our obsession with outlasting hardship. Intimate and startlingly immediate, it defies you to watch in spite of yourself.
Although based the rawness of reality, Cowbury and Latowicki then distance the story from reality and spin the truth into fiction. We aren't completely sure if it's true. Disarmingly honest and comically imagined, this disjuncture is typical of Made In China. Tonight I'm Gonna Be The New Me forces us to consider how much we can endure - in relationships, in society and in life.
Not since Forced Entertainment burst on to the scene almost 30 years ago has a company arrived with such a fully formed and distinctive voice (Lyn Gardner, The Guardian).
