Hysteria
T0628241980
The world is ending. And it's happening at table 9... A man and a woman are on the most awkward dinner date of their lives. He is an academic whose research into modern day neuroses is threatening his sanity, she is an events manager who's terrified of missing the party. Caught in the middle is their mortified waiter, haunted by visions of global catastrophe. Inspired by T.S. Eliot's poem of the same name, Hysteria makes us witnesses to a painstaking attempt at social interaction. With irreverent humour, vivid physicality and visceral sound and lighting, it draws its audience into an arresting world where the main course is a fight for survival and a banana can move you to tears.
