The Victorian in the Wall by Will Adamsdale - Royal Court

The Victorian in the Wall , by Will Adamsdale, opens at the Royal Court Upstairs 16 May 2013, following previews from 11 May - running to 8 June 2013, following a short UK tour.

It is a co production with Fuel, directed by Will Adamsdale and Lyndsey Turner, and devised with cast members Jason Barnett, Chris Branch, Matthew Steer, Melanie Wilson.

A surreal and fantastical story. Power-prams, Grand Design knock-throughs, organic everything. A family are rushed to hospital with festival fatigue. A work-shy writer discovers a Victorian man living in the wall of his flat. Everyone's pretty surprised. Adjustments need to be made. Can the strange visitor unlock his hopeless career? His flagging relationship? A story buried in these walls for over a century? (Doubt it. Maybe. Yes.) Contains jokes, songs, banging on recycling boxes, and a Nigerian.
