Photo Flash: Network Theatre Waterloo Presents Ivona, Princess of Burgundia
Polish playwright Witold Gombrowicz's Ivona, Princess of Burgundia will open at the Network Theatre Waterloo for a limited four week season on 05 January 2011, with press night on 05 January 2011. Ivona, Princess of Burgundia is directed by genre specialist Kos Mantzakos, with designs by Charlotte Randell, lighting by Gareth Howells, costumes by Josie Martin and features music by Chopin, Preisner, Oginski, Jarzebski, and Lutoslawski. Ivona, Princess of Burgundia, is produced by the Sturdy Beggars Company and Hugo Thurston as part of the Sturdy Beggars Brain Drain Season - Lost Gems by Eastern European Masters: Gombrowicz, Stratiev and Molnar.
Terminally bored, Crown Prince Philip decides to propose to the most repulsive girl in the kingdom - the mute, sickly Ivona. Her silence holds up a mirror to others' hidden vices; her ugliness provokes disgust and desire in equal measure. Set in a seething, gossiping, corrupt Royal Court the play explores the ridiculous (and ultimately deadly) consequences of this impulsive betrothal...The cast of 15 comprises Daniel Addis, Alex Andreou, David Bartlett, Sean Culhane, Ryan Davies, Bjorn Dvori-Avraham, Matt Garill, Christopher Hughes, BrenDan Jones, Zsolt Miklos-Toth, Edward Parkes, Benjamin Reeves, Christ Sims and Tim Slatter.LISTINGS INFORMATION IVONA PRINCESS OF BURGUNDYAdvanced Previews Friday 17 and Saturday 18 December at 7.30pmTickets £10 (concessions £6)Dates 05 January 2011 - 30 January 2011 Press Night 05 January at 7.30pmPerformances Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 7.30pm
