Mr Stanford, studio boss at Temple Studios, has delivered a final farewell message. This is the last chance to see Punchdrunk's The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable as the studios in Paddington must close on Sunday 6 July. To view Mr Stanford's message, click below!
Punchdrunk have transformed a vast building next door to Paddington Station into the forgotten world of Temple Studios, a legendary film powerhouse. Audiences are asked to step into the world of Temple Pictures where the Hollywood studio system meets a forgotten hinterland filled with dreamers who exist at the fringes of the movie industry.
The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable is inspired by Buchner's fractured masterpiece Woyzeck and set in a seedy Hollywood underworld. The show will have played to well over 200,000 people by the end of its run.
Punchdrunk and the National Theatre present The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable, directed by Felix Barrett & Maxine Doyle, and designed by Felix Barrett, Livi Vaughan & Beatrice Minns, with choreography by Maxine Doyle, lighting design by Mike Gunning, and sound design by Stephen Dobbie.
