LULU
FRANK WEDEKIND

ADAPTED AND DIRECTED BY ANNA LEDWICH

10 June - 10 July 2010
Who are you?
How far are you prepared to go?
What are you prepared to become?

Initially banned for its perceived immorality, LULU follows the fortunes and ultimate tragedy of a young woman, a femme-fatale, who skips from one husband to the next leaving a trail of broken hearts and broken bodies in her wake.

"This ongoing collaboration between the Gate and Headlong confirms both as invaluable agents of experiment and intelligent innovation"
TIME OUT on New Directions 2009
Wedekind drew inspiration from circus and variety to create a play that would entertain, thrill and shock. This provocative new production revels in the danger of fatal, decadent desires, harnessing the raw power and precariousness of sexuality to unmask the LULU enigma.

Oh man... Sinead Matthews is so sexy

[wringerUK]

@MarcelGomesPan - you are so right she is amazingly hot (as well as brilliant) - I still recall her stripping in Women of Troy - oddly enough I went to see that twice....

[MarcelGomesPan]

I would have done anything to see this.

Great play, great cast (incl Sinead Matthews whom i adore), just ....great!

[MarcelGomesPan]

@Reckoner65 I agree! She the hottest actress i know! And a damn good one too!
