Ibsen vs. Strindberg Kingston Rowing Club, Beresford Park Playing Fields, off Beverley Road - 7.30pm Free Tel. 01482 212478

For one night only, Hull's Kingston Rowing Club Players present a head-to-head collision between rival Scandinavian playwrights Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg. Continuing the Rowing Club's original explorations of Modernist literature, the Players present two great plays - Ghosts (Ibsen) and The Father (Strindberg) - and invite the audience to take sides.

Ibsen (recently described as 'the troll in the living room') and Strindberg (a man of legendary paranoiac mania) both produced relentlessly claustrophobic dramas in which human beings are systematically destroyed by supposed 'moral laxity' and sexual indiscretion. These entirely new adaptations by Philip Wincolmlee Barnes and Espen Jensen present a heady concoction of lust, thwarted wills and spurned egoism.

This is a show with inventive whit, energy and optimistic fun.

A series of lightning character sketches zig zag through the course of Christ's second ministry, illuminating the contrasts of everyday life in South Africa. Tourist spots like the gold mines and Sun city are shown against the teaming pavements of Albert Street and the search for work. The meat seller, the hairdresser and the old woman forced to dig through rubbish for her food all have something to ask of Him …. 'It is sensational' The Stage 2002
