Gerard
Logan in William Shakespeare’s
The
Rape of Lucrece
Wednesday

event has been CANCELLED
The
Rape of Lucrece is a brilliant, brutal narrative
poem giving an account of the terrible crime of rape and
its dreadful consequences for victim and perpetrator. As
ever, though, Shakespeare goes beyond the obvious, following
the ramifications of the crime wherever they take him, shining
a light on a band of human-behaviour encompassing the bestial
and the beautiful.
Simple
and stark: a single actor, a bare stage – rapist and
victim springing to searing life.
Gerard
Logan has played leading roles with the National Theatre
and the RSC (Olivier Award Nomination). Director Gareth
Armstrong has created many successful solo shows including
his own award-winning Shylock.
“Sensational”
Sir Trevor Nunn
“Powerful
and horrifying....beautifully and excellently delivered
by a master of his craft” Fringe Review (Brighton
2009)
“Great
acting meets classic writing....an engrossing display of
Shakespearean acting at its absolute finest” Three
Weeks (Brighton Festival 2009)
“Gerard
Logan musters an astonishing depth of feeling and emotion.
His heartfelt, stark one-man enactment of this bleak and
brilliant piece is moving, powerful and hugely evocative”
Brighton Source 2009
“Don’t
miss this show. You will rarely have the chance to experience
great poetry brought to life this well. Faultlessly performed
by Gerard Logan, in the pure spirit-filled voice of a master,
this performance is one the Royal Shakespeare Company could
be proud of having produced” ***** Fringe Review
(Edinburgh 2008)
“vividly
brought to life by Logan with an intense and unremitting
clarity, this captivating tale, brilliantly recounted and
eloquently spoken by a consummate story teller, is unmissable
for all Shakespeare fans.” British Theatre Guide
(Edinburgh 2008)
