Spare By Sebastian Rex at New Diorama Theatre 7 Sep

Acting Like Mad presents Spare, written and directed by Sebastian Rex, at the New Diorama Theatre, close to Warrren Street, central London from 7 to 25 Sep 2010.

Designed by Kasper Svenstrup Hansen, lighting by Claire Childs.

A look at human brutality and sexual abuse. In an unusual experiment in gender-neutral writing and gender-blind casting, the actors performing the roles will change for each performance: every night will begin with the performers selecting their character's name at random. With 40,032 different possible casting combinations, each performance presents a different nuance to the power balance in the relationships at the heart of the play.
