Scotland's Vanishing Point Returns To London With INTERIORS 4/21-5/9

Interiors: A new, devised work inspired by the themes of Maurice Maeterlinck's Interior
Created by Vanishing Point
Conceived and directed by Matthew Lenton
21 April - 09 May

Vanishing Point, Scotland's leading theatre company, return to London for the first time since their critically acclaimed production Subway enjoyed a sell-out Lyric run in 2007. Interiors is a brand new production born out of a major international collaboration with Napoli Teatro Festival Italia and Traverse Theatre, inspired by the 1891 play Interior by Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck.

Behind a window, in a cosy room, a group of friends sit down for a meal. The food is being cooked; the lamps are on, everyone is happy. Talk begins and stories unfold around the table, stories about the living and the dead, about missing necklaces and what happens when people get hungry.

Interiors takes as its starting point the central themes of Interior but in contrast to Maeterlinck's play, director Matthew Lenton turns the focus from the observer to the observed. The set design - a room which separates the characters from the audience, will allow us to witness barriers rising and falling and to see private emotions contrasted with public face.

A hypnotic and comic show, Interiors incorporates performance, ambitious design and projection to create a visually stunning show about sound, silence, and the darkness outside the window.
