The Love of The Nightingale 2011

by Rough Fiction

The Rough Fiction Ensemble in association with the Actors Centre present a pop up production of

The Love of The Nightingale by Timberlake Wertenbaker

BOOK NOW

Featuring live choral singing, percussion and a cast of 14-26 actors Rough Fiction’s Ensemble Laboratory, this ever-changing pop-up production appears at a new venue each week, with different staging and the actors swapping parts every performance.

Set against the backdrop of war, The Love of The Nightingale reveals two Athenian sisters caught in a triangle of desire and revenge in Wertenbaker’s witty and moving version of the ancient Philomela myth questioning the nature of power and what happens when people are silenced. Olivier Award winning playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker is perhaps best know for remarkable play Our Country’s Good.
