Inspector Sands and Stamping
Ground present:
HYSTERIA
Winner Total Theatre
Award 2006
Short-listed for the Carol Tambor Award 2006
"Hysteria is a rib and mind-tickling delight" ***** The Times
"Beautifully
observed...wonderfully witty...I laughed until I cried"
****The
Guardian
“A funny, innovative and at times disturbing exploration
of how humans hang on to their sanity”
**** Financial Times
“Painfully real and very, very slick, the hilarious Hysteria
deserves to win Inspector Sands and Stamping Ground a raft of new
fans”
***** The Metro
The world is ending. And it's happening at table 9...
Inspired by T.S. Eliot's poem of the same name, Hysteria makes
us witnesses to a painstaking attempt at social interaction. A
man and a woman are on the most awkward dinner date of their lives.
He is an academic whose research into modern day neuroses is threatening
his sanity, she is an events manager who's terrified of missing
the party. Caught in the middle is their mortified waiter, haunted by visions of global catastrophe.
With irreverent humour, vivid physicality and visceral
sound and lighting, Hysteria draws its audience into a world where
the main course is a fight for survival and a banana can move you
to tears. More...
