 Welcome to this curious birthday party …’
CCADS Presents
FESTEN
By David Eldridge
Based on the Dogme film and play by Thomas Vinterberg, Mogens Rukov and Bo hr. Hansen
Presented by arrangement with Marla Rubin Productions Ltd.
‘An embodiment of what theatre should be … takes the breath away…’ The Independent
Helge is sixty. It is a time of celebration. A time for the family to gather and smooth over the cracks left by the suicide of Linda, twin sister to Christian. As Helge’s eldest son, Christian will raise the first toast.
Confined within the family house, the guests are rocked by the revelations that pierce and destroy the veneer of middle-class respectability.
Based on the remarkable Dogme film and following acclaimed seasons in London’s West End, on Broadway and around the world, this masterwork of modern theatre is given its first Portsmouth production by multi award-winning theatre company CCADS. Watch this shattering, compelling story unfold in the intimate surroundings of The Third Floor Arts Centre…this unforgettable theatrical experience is not to be missed.
