Echo has a broken heart. A gutted-from-the-inside, cut-off-your-toes broken heart. Help is just a phone call away, but he opts for a Classical (feral) form of revenge. A darkly comic new play with a queer, unruly take on Ovid’s myth of Narcissus.
Written and performed by Bailey Edwards, directed by Mia Hull, produced by Sophie Ignatieff and featuring a sound design by Ellie Isherwood.
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
