Photo Flash: First Look at Punchdrunk's THE DROWNED MAN: A HOLLYWOOD FABLE

By:

Punchdrunk and The National Theatre have today released new production images for The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable. Check them out below!

Step into the world of Temple Pictures where the Hollywood studio system meets a forgotten hinterland filled with dreamers who exist at the fringes of the movie industry. Here, celluloid fantasy clings to desperate realism and certainty dissolves into a hallucinatory world. This theatrical journey follows its protagonists along the precipice between illusion and reality.

The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable is directed by Felix Barrett & Maxine Doyle and designed by Felix Barrett, Livi Vaughan & Beatrice Minns, with choreography by Maxine Doyle, lighting Design by Mike Gunning and sound Design by Stephen Dobbie

Performances run now through 31 December 2013 at Temple Studios, 31 London Street, W2 1DJ. Tickets: From £29.50. To book visit www.nationaltheatre.org.uk or call 020 7452 3000 This is a promenade production. Comfortable footwear recommended. Suitable for ages 16+.
