Sunday Readings in the Park

Burnt Piano

by Justin Fleming

Directed by Robert Laycock

Never performed in the UK; Burnt piano is the torching story of Karen; born under the star of Waiting For Godot. She attempts to make sense of tragic events in her life by tracking down the one man on earth she believes can help her: the aged Samuel Beckett now living in Paris. One of the thieves was saved, but which one?

So, as you may know, our season of six plays for Sunday Readings in The Park, all totally different in style, are going to be performed in Rep with the same 12 actors. You will be hard pressed to find another example of an actor being able to illustrate their craft so perfectly. We really are so lucky to be able to announce that: Imogen Smith, Lesley Harcourt, Miram Haque, Toni Kanal, Anthony Zaki, Edward Halstead, Edwin Flay, Eirik Barr, Hari Sajan, Luke Barton, Jay Alwyn and Paul Foulds make up the ensemble.
