Theatre Show inspired by Auster

Hello Auster Fans

Just wanted to flag up my new solo show 'To Break A Man' which is touring the UK this spring (and still available for further bookings!)
The show is inspired by a scene from 'The Brooklyn Follies' and themes of chance and choice inherent in some of Auster's work... more info below and at http://www.georgedillon.com/theatre/to_break_a_man.shtml

Hope some of you can make it - would love to hear your thoughts...
All the Best,
Jade



TARRY THEATRE
One Woman: 720 possibilities

JADE BLUE performs TO BREAK A MAN
directed by GEORGE DILLON

Would you love someone enough to leave them forever?

Flora is a disturbed young woman who has an unbearable insight into the human predicament. Harry is an ordinary man caught between doing the right thing and doing the thing that is best for everyone. Tonight he must choose whether to save his daughter... by losing her.

To Break a Man is a new piece inspired by a scene in a novel by Paul Auster, developed by Tarry Theatre and director George Dillon (award winning internationally acclaimed solo performer).

To Break a Man is about the decisive moment. Sometimes, unprepared, you have to make a decision which will change your life. Sometimes, whatever you choose, you lose.

Tonight the audience and the dice decide how the story will be told.
One woman: 720 possibilities.

“I thought it was exceptionally good. Great direction, really terrific production values, fascinating piece of theatre and Jade Blue was superb.”
