The Blue Elephant Theatre Presents THE CAVE, 10/19 - 11/6

By:

The Blue Elephant Theatre (59a Bethwin Road) in Camberwell presents the world premiere of THE CAVE from Tuesday, October 19th to Saturday, November 6th. The play was written by Mervyn Peake and will be directed by Aaron Paterson.

THE CAVE was written by celebrated writer and artist Mervyn Peake in 1961 and discovered only after his death in 1968. With the invaluable co-operation of the playwright's son, Sebastian Peake, a close BET neighbour, THE CAVE will be staged as a production by the Blue Elephant Theatre. THE CAVE is a powerful three-act drama which follows the fortunes of the same family set against a background of three distinctly different periods in different history and poses thought provoking questions about the human condition.

The Blue Elephant Theatre is the only theatre in Camberwell, south east London; an intimate, 50-seater space where audiences can enjoy an entertaining, eclectic programme and meet for drinks and post-show talks in the bar upstairs. Aiming for accessible work with broad appeal, budding artists, directors, producers et al are encouraged to bring ideas to BET's programming table while established professionals are equally welcomed. The theatre's pro-active support of a wide range of artists often leads to new artistic relationships with companies returning to the theatre again and again.
