Beautiful Damned
14th, 15th, 16th February, 8:00pm
In Beautiful Damned, a husband and wife meet in a smoky bar and relive the last ten years of their lives. Told through a series of flashbacks, re-enactments and reminiscences, the play is a profile of a relationship from its beginnings to a point of no return. The play is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel, The Beautiful and Damned, which focuses on the relationship between two people, Gloria and Anthony Patch, who are loosely based on Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda. The writer, Ben Weaver, says that he was attracted to the experimental style of the novel and felt inspired to further explore the novel’s attitude to performance and awareness of itself as fiction in this exciting and innovative adaptation.
Tickets are £17 (£15 concessions). For more information and to book your tickets, please visit the Beautiful Damned website.
