THIS IS NOT CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT

★★★★★ - INDEPENDENT "Deeply sad in parts, this performance is a 55 minute scream for help, and it sounds beautiful."

​

Out of Spite Theatre presents the critically acclaimed, two-time Edinburgh Fringe and London transfer sell-out, THIS IS NOT CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT.

​

A brutally intense, darkly comic one-man show that unveils the bizarre, compulsive and eccentric nature of humanity. This thunderous, high energy piece of theatre is performed entirely nude and combines Adam Scott-Rowley's method of 'The Sensitised Actor', with deeply grotesque bouffon to create a sharp political comment on contemporary society.

PEOPLE WHO NEED PEOPLE

​

MIRO MAGAZINE - "There are no words to People Who Need People and yet, as a production, it is brimming with emotional promise."

​

Out of Spite Theatre in association with The Production Exchange and supported by Arts Council England, Shoreditch Town Hall and Jeremy Zimmermann Casting present PEOPLE WHO NEED PEOPLE.

​

PEOPLE WHO NEED PEOPLE is a 50 minute piece of theatre in which an audience watches the repeated routine comings and goings of people from varied historical time periods and walks of life at one limbo-esque train station. The piece is non-linear and occasionally highly physical.
A beautiful soundscape, intricate lighting, heightened physicality and juxtaposed imagery brings this slow-revealing piece to its fruition. There is no dialogue. PEOPLE WHO NEED PEOPLE portrays a haunting, humorous and poignant display of the human condition. An intense slow-burner with a theatrical climax like no other.
