Synopsis: | Outside the auditorium, a notice informs the audience that they will be filmed during the performance. Inside, handheld cameras are trained on people through the darkness once the play begins. Across the gloom, you think, they can't pick up much and the anxiety begins to subside. There is also the powerful distraction of the play within Scarlet Theatre's "reality theatre show", an adaptation of Werner Schwab's The Presidents, with a cracking translation by David Hale. Three women sit and watch television, swooning towards its horrors and its banalities in equal measure as they share their disappointments and fantasies. These two scenes - pulsating with Schwab's absurdist, cruel and deeply scatological world view, and acted with much relish for the grim material - are the production's impressive heart of darkness. - Elizabeth Mahoney, Guardian | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Werner Schwab. Original title: Endlich tot, endlich keine luft mehr. Translated by Meredith Oakes. Directed by Vanda Butkovic. Dramaturgy by Diana Damian Martin. Scenography by Simon Donger. Produced by Berislav Juraic. www.justamust.com | |||||
| Dead at Last, No More Air is a brutal, irreverent and bizarrely comical piece about what happens when an emerging stage production is sabotaged by outsiders. Following a dispute with the cast, the director replaces all the actors with pensioners from a nearby home for the elderly. At first compliant and polite, the 'forgotten and dispossessed' gradually start to question the director's authority, leading to a 'coup d'etat' where the theatre's cleaning lady is selected as the group's leader. Not everybody survives the new order. Marking two decades since the playwright's death, Just a Must presents the English language premiere of this forgotten masterpiece by award-winning Austrian writer Werner Schwab. | |||||
