Photo Flash: UK Premiere of THEBES LAND

Franco-Uruguayan playwright Sergio Blanco, one of Latin America's most exciting voices, teams up with director Daniel Goldman to tease the boundaries between truth and lies, what you know and what you think you know.

Please note: Thebes Land is presented with the consent of all parties and in accordance with Home Office regulations. It will be staged inside a large protective cage.

Daniel Goldman said: "When I saw the original Uruguayan production of Thebes Land at a festival in Colombia, I came out physically shaking with joy at what the play was doing. It's both a play about patricide and play about making plays. It's very funny, very clever, very moving - at its heart it's an impossible love story - but above all else, it's a play that twists, turns and surprises throughout, juggling different layers of reality. It's like a Charlie Kaufman-esque mash-up of The Shawshank Redemption and Inception, and so much more. My hope that it will leave audiences as thrilled and excited about theatre as I was when I first saw it."
