Synopsis: | The republic of Andorra is invaded by totalitarian forces. The populace capitulates to the anti-Semitism of the aggressor and betrays Andri, the foundling son of the local schoolmaster. But Andri it seems, is not a Jew at all. Andorra explores the mechanism of racism with the story of a non-Jew brought up as a Jew, who falls victim to anti-Semitic hostility. | |||||

Synopsis: | Middle-aged behavioural researcher Kurmann is given the chance to start over with his life at any given point and "correct" any previous choices he made-from his failed marriage, lack of political conviction and successful academic career to his poor attention to health and the color of his living-room furniture. Yet, despite his intention to apply whatever wisdom he acquired, Kurmann finds himself inexorably trapped by the same decisions. Ultimately proving fatal, Kurmann's life "game" echoes the reconstruction of a lost chess game that interrogates how much of our own path is shaped by other, seemingly random factors and how much is in fact predetermined by our own limited, conditioned selves. The idea that our lives are nothing but a self-conscious play with imaginary identities is brilliantly captured in Biography's dramaturgical form that sets up a theatre rehearsal as the metaphor for the game of life with its seemingly endless possibilities and variables. | |||||

Synopsis: | In the centenary year of Max Frisch's birth Cerberus Theatre presents the UK Premiere of Count Oederland.Never before seen in this country the play was written in the 1950s and has been described as American Psycho meets V for Vendetta. A public prosecutor, in the course of investigating the apparently motiveless murder of a bank employee, suffers an aberration of the mind. Lost in thoughts of escape from duty and responsibility the Prosecutor loses his own identity and becomes the harrowing legend of Count Oederland. A private act of revolt becomes an infectious underground rebellion. As more and more people join him and take to the axe' he becomes the leader of a vast movement for freedom responsible for the whole nation but is this the freedom he dreamt of? | |||||
