Oh Doh - T01945459484In 1660 King Charles II, appropriated a dirt track to be used exclusively by him to travel between his palaces at Whitehall and Hampton Court. This track became the 'Kings Road'. In the 1960s the Kings Road was considered the centre of innovative high fashion. In the 1970s the international punk movement exploded around the Kings Road. Once upon a time the Kings Road encompassed and celebrated the eccentricity that so defined England. Today the Kings Road looks much the same as any other British High Street, lined with the usual chain-stores, coffee shops and eateries. Does the Kings Road's surrender to the likes of Starbucks and GAP expose England's surrender to commercial conformism? And how does this onslaught of uniformity effect a visitor's perception of a place? Oh Doh, a site-specific promenade show will explore these important questions about the modern world through the mind of Japanese tourist. Kazuko is a Japanese tourist. Newly arrived in London, she has reached the Kings Road. With a head full of (right and wrong) information, anecdotes and stories garnered from reading guidebook after guidebook on London and her very own 'fanzine', Kazuko invites you to join her as she makes a journey along the street. Fantasy, fact and fiction will meet; the punk icon ghosts of the past will mingle with the echoes of a Japanese fairytale; a seductive love song will be sung. What you will find is a Kings Road that is very different from the one you thought you knew.Producer Chelsea Theatre. | |
