Upstart Theatre presents the second in a series of evenings of daring, entertaining, and politically aware theatre exploring the faultlines between the present and the past. Throughout the ages, people have written letters to each other, constantly longing for an understanding of the rules and randomness of human existence. Stamped 27th October brings to vividly theatrical life the moments of summer apple picking and fatal idealism, joyous reunions, crushing defeats and longing for love in the letters of the Pastons to the Mitfords and Surrealists, and especially of people in conflict in different times and places, all written on the same late October date. Six actors move, dance, sing and speak to the music of time, in Lydia Ziemke's highly theatrical exploration of the gradual progress of human understanding.| 27 Oct 08 | Theatre503 Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
