Damien Ryan (actor, director and artistic director of Sydney-based Shakespeare experts Sport For Jove) makes his MTC debut directing John Bell in this international mega-hit: a discombobulating tour through a mind unravelling in dementia, by French writer Florian Zeller (adapted by Christopher Hampton).
In their 4-star review of the 2015 West End production, Time Out London wrote: "Florian Zeller’s brilliant play – here translated with venomous flare by Christopher Hampton – uses its structure to mimic the state of a mind deteriorating through dementia. Each scene is an elliptical extended snapshot – it seems to evoke a memory, but quickly the absurdist contradictions crowd in."
