Synopsis: | Once a war has dragged on for a few years, the media loses interest and the responsibility falls to the arts to maintain the public's awareness. The ongoing conflict in the territories of the former Yugoslavia is no longer regularly in the public eye, usurped by coverage of Iraq and Afghanistan, which makes it unfashionable but necessary subject matter for the stage. Neither Britain nor the United States of America is a major player in this conflict, which means the Anglophone world is largely uninterested. Enter Danish playwright Thor Bjørn Krebs and Brother Tongue, a new theatre company specialising in translations of European works. Translated by David Duchin and staged by Southwark Playhouse, Krebs' play About Tommy focuses on a bunch of new recruits to the Danish International Brigade, a force deployed in the former Yugoslavia under the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR). | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Thor Bjorn Krebs. The Baroness is Thor Bjorn Krebss provocative, free interpretation of the relationship between Blixen and Bjornvig, a relationship which is both platonic and sexually charged, and which questions and challenges the role and nature of the artist. A smash-hit in Denmark, this intense, brilliantly written play features the wonderful Roberta Taylor (Eastenders, The Bill) as Blixen, Ewan Donald as Bjornvig and Romana Abercromby as Benedicte Jensen and is directed by Matthew Zajac, creator and performer of The Tailor of Inverness, with music by Aidan ORourke of Lau. | |||||
Synopsis: | In 1948, at the age of 62, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), writer of Out of Africa, met the 29-year-old poet, Thorkild Bjørnvig. He was newly married and had recently made his successful publishing debut. The two shared a powerful, dangerous and intimate friendship, their pact, which lasted six years before falling apart. | |||||
