The Poet and the Rent by David Mamet is a faced-paced, energetic farce in which the struggling and hapless poet in his efforts to pay his rent to the evil landlord, embarks on an extraordinary adventure and is introduced to a host of colourful and larger-than-life characters. Thwarted at every turn by the glittering promises of romance, a souless corporation and the criminal underworld, the Poet glides through Mamet's technicolour world of crazed policemen, robbers and philosophical dogs in this fantastic and hilarious piece brimming with slapstick, magic tricks, swing dance and many, MANY custard pies.| 21 May 09 to 24 May 09 | Marlborough Theatre Brighton, East Sussex Performance Details => Venue archive |
