Jacques and his Master
Milan Kundera, translated by Simon Callow
Wednesday 23rd February - Saturday 26th February
£6-4
The time and place are unknown. Two men climb down onto the stage, continuing on their journey. Neither them nor us know where they're going, but there's a writer in the sky who is telling them to carry on.
Jacques and his Master both gamble with love, involving themselves in situations both criminal, perverse and downright bizarre. The memories of both characters are brought to life by figures from their respective pasts, forcing master and servant to confront the issues of guilt, and the thorny problems of who is ultimately responsible for one's bad behaviour and bad luck.
Award-winning writer of "The Unbearable Lightness of Being", Milan Kundera's "Jacques and His Master" is a play where past and present seamlessly overlap, and nothing is quite as you remembered it.
