Crave at Jury's Inn

ICU Dramsoc present Crave at The Space @ Jury's Inn (Venue 260).  It is on from 17-29 Aug 2009. 

In this interpretation of the play, we are taken into the lives of a broken, dysfunctional family. Characters A and M are the separated parents of C, with B being M’s somewhat rebounded toy-boy lover. M is for Mother, A is for Addict, C is for Child, B is for Boy.

"Seeking to be as true to Kane’s approach as possible, our production of Crave presents a new combination of four out of our eight actors every night, to prevent the actors from becoming too settled into their roles. By keeping them on their toes, the director hopes to find a rawness and
honesty to every performance that faithfully communicates Kane’s message and ideas. It is also meant to emphasise the very point of coming to the theatre – each show is unique and cannot be repeated."
