The Rage of Narcissus is the latest collaboration between Sergio Blanco and Daniel Goldman (Thebes Land) - a fascinating and disturbing journey into the writer's psyche and the depths of obsession.
Praise for Thebes Land:
An engagingly treacherous piece... a witty, unexpected show that boasts blistering performances in a beautifully calibrated production by Daniel Goldman, who also supplies the translation. Lyn Gardner, Guardian
Blanco delights in remaking the rules of storytelling and then breaking them, and as the truth feels increasingly precarious, the confusion is enjoyable.... This ingenious two-hander remakes the rules of storytelling then breaks them. Henry Hitchens, Evening Standard
Sergio Blanco's Thebes Land, a dark, slippery Latin American import about a damaged young patricide and the curious writer determined to tell his story... Morbidly fascinating, delectably sophisticated two-hander is a rare treat! Fergus Moran, The Stage
Think Netflix's Making a Murderer or This American Life's Serial. Thebes Land takes aim at the form and shows - bit by bit, drip drip drip - how art gets in the way of the truth. It corrodes and mutates reality. It manipulates and corrupts... Matt Trueman, What's On Stage
Thebes Land is an exceptional exploration of performance itself. Exhilarating, moving, and slick, the piece outgrows its theatrical space and defines it. A real highlight of this year's theatre. Brendan MacDonald, Exeunt
