We Are Not Amused: The 2010 London Improvathon
From 7pm Friday Jan 22nd 2010 to 9pm Sunday Jan 24th 2010
A 50-hour improvised comedy set in Victorian England
- What secrets lie in the shadows and fog of gaslit London?
- What mysteries lurk in the old music hall theatre?
- What horror hides in the castle overlooking the eerie Dudley Moors?
As sleep deprivation kicks in, the players become too tired to censor themselves, resulting in a unique and euphoric live performance. Directed live by Dana Andersen; presented by award-winning theatre company The Sticking Place and Canadian improv legends Die Nasty. It is getting some fantastic press:
“Nicholas Rowe and Alan Cox, who played Holmes and Watson respectively in Barry Levinson’s 1985 film Young Sherlock Holmes, are to reprise their roles live on stage for the 2010 London Improvathon 25 years after they appeared together on screen.”
Expect surreal comedy, dazzling drama and countless historical inaccuracies.
Over 50 actors and musicians from all over the world will create some of the best improvised comedy and drama on the London stage for 50 hours of non-stop, madness and mayhem.
