The English Drama Group
present the new show
and as far as I know, they're desperate for an audience
so if you're interested:
Everything in the Garden
a black comedy by Edward Albee
June 24/26/27/30 July 1/3
7 p.m.
Lecture Hall E01, Schellingstraße 3 (Uni)
tickets (5 Euros) are available at the door
Most of the actors are students - not too many native speakers. However, those of you who saw Strippers: Michelle and the two Dougies are also in the cast. And the director has (well, at least in my opininion) done a great job with his first to plays: "Play it again Sam" last summer and "Much ado about nothing" in January
I've also found a synopsis of the play (haven't read or seen it yet) on a website:
Albee's Everything in the Garden is a superb, if surreal attack on suburban complacency. In the course of an evening's house party, participants are discovered to be engaging in racism, bad business ethics, drunkeness, prostitution, and ultimately, murder. Then everyone goes home as if nothing had happened. But something has happened--the central couple, Richard and Jenny, have become financially secure, albeit at a great price. But perhaps they're happier for all this than they have ever been, at the end of a hellish evening in which many of their middle class mores have been abandoned in the name of keeping up with their Long Island neighbors (friends they wouldn't have, by the way, if they were not so well off). The story has absurd plot twists and one or two incredible coincidences, but, accepted on their own terms, these add to the general interest the play's dialogue and plot provide.
