From 1 November, Lazarus Theatre Company present Friedrich Schiller's Don Carlos and the Blue Elephant Theatre, London.

Lazarus, who recently presented Orestes and Electra at The Space, London, were last seen at the Blue Elephant in Macbeth and Othello (winner of Best Fringe or Regional Play, Broadway World UK Awards 2010).

Betrayed by his own tyrannical father, King Philip of Spain, Don Carlos is passionately in love with Elizabeth, the French princess who through political advantage becomes his father's wife and Queen. Their desperate love affair is played out against a Spain in the grasp of war, tangled in untruths, corruption and deceit. The young prince's hatred for his cold and distant parent knows no bounds. He enlists his oldest friend, Rodrigo, the Marquis of Posa to act as go-between. But Posa decides to convert Carlos and Elizabeth's youthful passion into a full scale rebellion against King Philip's oppressive and bloody regime.

Through the use of text, movement and music, a large ensemble will create a fresh and bold re-imagining of the classic text.

Venue: The Blue Elephant Theatre, 59a Bethwin Road, Camberwell, London SE5 QXT
