SUMMARY:Hide and Seek
DESCRIPTION:In an award-winning Italian drama\, a teenage boy disappears to a secluded cave to escape social discrimination and bullying. \nWritten by Tobia Rossi and translated and directed by Carlotta Brentan\, Hide and Seek explores homophobia and bullying\, self-discovery and acceptance. Faced with the contagious prejudice of a small Italian town\, Gio has never felt accepted by his parents\, peers or teachers. But when he runs away\, his hiding place in a secluded cave is discovered by his classmate Mirko.  \nAs social media frenzy builds around his mysterious disappearance and Mirko becomes Gio’s only link to the outside world\, their journey shines a light on the power of social media\, exploring how discriminatory voices can profoundly impact young minds. Hide and Seek highlights how being yourself is still a risky proposition in our society when it comes to sexual orientation and independent thought.  \nHide and Seek Reviews.\n‘A gut-punch work. Dispassionate response is an impossibility.’ ★★★★★ Lost in Theatreland.  \n‘The piece twists and turns unpredictably with thought-provoking observations and a heartbreaking foundation. This is a company to watch.’ ★★★★ Broadway World.   \n‘One of the best shows of this year’s VAULT Festival\, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats for 75 minutes. It’s one of those plays that will stay with you for a long time.’ ★★★★ London Theatre Reviews. \nTickets for Hide and Seek: https://parktheatre.co.uk/whats-on/hide-and-seek\nDirector and translator Carlotta Brentan said\, “Hide and Seek is a savage and – unfortunately – incredibly topical rollercoaster of a play. Its teenage protagonists\, Gio and Mirko\, challenge each other to examine the prejudice\, careless cruelty and homophobia that persist unchecked in their small Italian village and which are all too universal to this day. Tobia Rossi’s light touch\, the humour and paradoxical innocence of his characters\, seduce us into opening our hearts to these heavy subjects. While the action takes place entirely within a dark\, secluded cave\, the questions Hide and Seek asks are far-reaching and necessary; the time to have these conversations is now.” \nTobia Rossi is one of Italy’s foremost playwrights. Hide and Seek won the 2019 Mario Fratti Award at In Scena! Italian Theater Festival NY. \nRunning Time: 85 mins approx | Suitable for ages 15+ \nSupported by: Il Circolo – Italian Cultural Association\, The Sylvia Waddilove Foundation UK\, Com.It.Es di Londra and BIS – British Italian Society  \nMore about ZAVA Productions: \nFounded in 2022\, ZAVA Productions is a UK theatre production company that champions emerging writers and specialises in developing and producing original plays and musicals that reflect and question our society. They support inspiring works focusing on female voice and minority\, ethnicity and gender discrimination\, giving audiences a new awareness and perspective.

But when he runs away\, his hiding place in a secluded cave is discovered by his classmate Mirko.  \nAs social media frenzy builds around his mysterious disappearance and Mirko becomes Gio’s only link to the outside world\, their journey shines a light on the power of social media\, exploring how discriminatory voices can profoundly impact young minds. Hide and Seek highlights how being yourself is still a risky proposition in our society when it comes to sexual orientation and independent thought.  \nHide and Seek Reviews.\n‘A gut-punch work. Dispassionate response is an impossibility.’ ★★★★★ Lost in Theatreland.  \n‘The piece twists and turns unpredictably with thought-provoking observations and a heartbreaking foundation. This is a company to watch.’ ★★★★ Broadway World.   \n‘One of the best shows of this year’s VAULT Festival\, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats for 75 minutes. It’s one of those plays that will stay with you for a long time.’ ★★★★ London Theatre Reviews. \nTickets for Hide and Seek: https://parktheatre.co.uk/whats-on/hide-and-seek\nDirector and translator Carlotta Brentan said\, “Hide and Seek is a savage and – unfortunately – incredibly topical rollercoaster of a play. Its teenage protagonists\, Gio and Mirko\, challenge each other to examine the prejudice\, careless cruelty and homophobia that persist unchecked in their small Italian village and which are all too universal to this day. Tobia Rossi’s light touch\, the humour and paradoxical innocence of his characters\, seduce us into opening our hearts to these heavy subjects.

SUMMARY:Hide and Seek
DESCRIPTION:In an award-winning Italian drama\, a teenage boy disappears to a secluded cave to escape social discrimination and bullying. \nWritten by Tobia Rossi and translated and directed by Carlotta Brentan\, Hide and Seek explores homophobia and bullying\, self-discovery and acceptance. Faced with the contagious prejudice of a small Italian town\, Gio has never felt accepted by his parents\, peers or teachers. But when he runs away\, his hiding place in a secluded cave is discovered by his classmate Mirko.  \nAs social media frenzy builds around his mysterious disappearance and Mirko becomes Gio’s only link to the outside world\, their journey shines a light on the power of social media\, exploring how discriminatory voices can profoundly impact young minds. Hide and Seek highlights how being yourself is still a risky proposition in our society when it comes to sexual orientation and independent thought.  \nHide and Seek Reviews.\n‘A gut-punch work. Dispassionate response is an impossibility.’ ★★★★★ Lost in Theatreland.  \n‘The piece twists and turns unpredictably with thought-provoking observations and a heartbreaking foundation. This is a company to watch.’ ★★★★ Broadway World.   \n‘One of the best shows of this year’s VAULT Festival\, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats for 75 minutes. It’s one of those plays that will stay with you for a long time.’ ★★★★ London Theatre Reviews. \nTickets for Hide and Seek: https://parktheatre.co.uk/whats-on/hide-and-seek\nDirector and translator Carlotta Brentan said\, “Hide and Seek is a savage and – unfortunately – incredibly topical rollercoaster of a play. Its teenage protagonists\, Gio and Mirko\, challenge each other to examine the prejudice\, careless cruelty and homophobia that persist unchecked in their small Italian village and which are all too universal to this day.

SUMMARY:Hir
DESCRIPTION:Emmy and Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee Felicity Huffman\, renowned for her roles in the 2005 film Transamerica and the international hit television series Desperate Housewives\, makes her UK stage debut in the revival of Hir\, an explosive comedy by Taylor Mac. Playing at Park Theatre until 16 March 2024. \nHuffman plays the radical matriarch Paige in HIR\, a disarmingly funny and strikingly original comedy.  \nFelicity says of playing Paige: “I’m honoured to get to work with Steve Kunis and to perform at the Park Theatre. As an ardent fan of Taylor Mac\, I’m so thrilled I get to act in one of Taylor’s brilliant plays. I studied in London back in the palaeolithic era and it has been a dream of mine to come back here and work someday. I’m a lucky gal.” \nTaylor Mac explodes the dysfunctional family drama and reinvents it for our times.  \nNamed ‘one of the most exciting theatre artists of our time’ by Time Out New York\, Taylor Mac is an actor\, playwright\, performance artist\, director\, producer\, and singer-songwriter. Judy (Taylor’s preferred pronoun\, but any will do) is a MacArthur “genius”\, the first (and to date only) American to receive the International Ibsen Award\, a Pulitzer Prize Finalist\, a Tony nominee for Best Play\, and the recipient of the Kennedy Prize\, the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award\, a Guggenheim\, a Drama League Award\, a NY Drama Critics Circle Award\, two Obie’s\, and two Bessies.  \nIn a revival by critically acclaimed director Steven Kunis\, Hir grapples with a family in flux as they attempt to build a brave new world out of pieces of the old. \nAmerican director Steven Kunis directed the critically acclaimed revival of Joe DiPietro’s F**king Men (Waterloo East) and the acclaimed three-month run of S. Asher Gelman’s Afterglow (Waterloo East)\, for which Steven was again nominated Best Director at the Off West End Awards. \nIsaac\, the prodigal son (Steffan Cennydd)\, has returned home from the brutality of war\, only to discover his family home transformed by domestic revolution. The patriarchy has fallen\, and his mother\, Paige (Felicity Huffman)\, has been liberated from an oppressive marriage to Arnold (Simon Startin). Enlisting Isaac’s newly out transgender sibling Max (Thalía Dudek – See interview in QX) as her ally\, Paige is on a crusade to tear apart the old regimes – but in Taylor Mac’s funny and strikingly original comedy\, annihilating the past doesn’t always free you from it. \n“Hir – pronounced “here”\, the preferred gender pronoun of the play’s protagonist Max – reminds us of theatre’s potential: to be a brilliant conduit that makes ideas alive and accessible. Hir doesn’t merely explore themes of gender fluidity\, queer theory and the subversion of toxic masculinity\, because that would be dull. It lightens the weight of concepts that many find foreign or fraught\, places them in a family setting and detonates them. Shrapnel flies everywhere”. The Guardian Australia (review of Belvoir Street Theatre Sydney production) ***** \nTickets to HIR are available by clicking here.

SUMMARY:Hide and Seek
DESCRIPTION:In an award-winning Italian drama\, a teenage boy disappears to a secluded cave to escape social discrimination and bullying. \nWritten by Tobia Rossi and translated and directed by Carlotta Brentan\, Hide and Seek explores homophobia and bullying\, self-discovery and acceptance. Faced with the contagious prejudice of a small Italian town\, Gio has never felt accepted by his parents\, peers or teachers. But when he runs away\, his hiding place in a secluded cave is discovered by his classmate Mirko.  \nAs social media frenzy builds around his mysterious disappearance and Mirko becomes Gio’s only link to the outside world\, their journey shines a light on the power of social media\, exploring how discriminatory voices can profoundly impact young minds. Hide and Seek highlights how being yourself is still a risky proposition in our society when it comes to sexual orientation and independent thought.  \nHide and Seek Reviews.\n‘A gut-punch work. Dispassionate response is an impossibility.’ ★★★★★ Lost in Theatreland.  \n‘The piece twists and turns unpredictably with thought-provoking observations and a heartbreaking foundation. This is a company to watch.’ ★★★★ Broadway World.   \n‘One of the best shows of this year’s VAULT Festival\, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats for 75 minutes. It’s one of those plays that will stay with you for a long time.’ ★★★★ London Theatre Reviews. \nTickets for Hide and Seek: https://parktheatre.co.uk/whats-on/hide-and-seek\nDirector and translator Carlotta Brentan said\, “Hide and Seek is a savage and – unfortunately – incredibly topical rollercoaster of a play. Its teenage protagonists\, Gio and Mirko\, challenge each other to examine the prejudice\, careless cruelty and homophobia that persist unchecked in their small Italian village and which are all too universal to this day. Tobia Rossi’s light touch\, the humour and paradoxical innocence of his characters\, seduce us into opening our hearts to these heavy subjects. While the action takes place entirely within a dark\, secluded cave\, the questions Hide and Seek asks are far-reaching and necessary; the time to have these conversations is now.” \nTobia Rossi is one of Italy’s foremost playwrights. Hide and Seek won the 2019 Mario Fratti Award at In Scena!

SUMMARY:Hir
DESCRIPTION:Emmy and Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee Felicity Huffman\, renowned for her roles in the 2005 film Transamerica and the international hit television series Desperate Housewives\, makes her UK stage debut in the revival of Hir\, an explosive comedy by Taylor Mac. Playing at Park Theatre until 16 March 2024. \nHuffman plays the radical matriarch Paige in HIR\, a disarmingly funny and strikingly original comedy.  \nFelicity says of playing Paige: “I’m honoured to get to work with Steve Kunis and to perform at the Park Theatre. As an ardent fan of Taylor Mac\, I’m so thrilled I get to act in one of Taylor’s brilliant plays. I studied in London back in the palaeolithic era and it has been a dream of mine to come back here and work someday. I’m a lucky gal.” \nTaylor Mac explodes the dysfunctional family drama and reinvents it for our times.  \nNamed ‘one of the most exciting theatre artists of our time’ by Time Out New York\, Taylor Mac is an actor\, playwright\, performance artist\, director\, producer\, and singer-songwriter. Judy (Taylor’s preferred pronoun\, but any will do) is a MacArthur “genius”\, the first (and to date only) American to receive the International Ibsen Award\, a Pulitzer Prize Finalist\, a Tony nominee for Best Play\, and the recipient of the Kennedy Prize\, the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award\, a Guggenheim\, a Drama League Award\, a NY Drama Critics Circle Award\, two Obie’s\, and two Bessies.  \nIn a revival by critically acclaimed director Steven Kunis\, Hir grapples with a family in flux as they attempt to build a brave new world out of pieces of the old. \nAmerican director Steven Kunis directed the critically acclaimed revival of Joe DiPietro’s F**king Men (Waterloo East) and the acclaimed three-month run of S. Asher Gelman’s Afterglow (Waterloo East)\, for which Steven was again nominated Best Director at the Off West End Awards. \nIsaac\, the prodigal son (Steffan Cennydd)\, has returned home from the brutality of war\, only to discover his family home transformed by domestic revolution. The patriarchy has fallen\, and his mother\, Paige (Felicity Huffman)\, has been liberated from an oppressive marriage to Arnold (Simon Startin). Enlisting Isaac’s newly out transgender sibling Max (Thalía Dudek – See interview in QX) as her ally\, Paige is on a crusade to tear apart the old regimes – but in Taylor Mac’s funny and strikingly original comedy\, annihilating the past doesn’t always free you from it. \n“Hir – pronounced “here”\, the preferred gender pronoun of the play’s protagonist Max – reminds us of theatre’s potential: to be a brilliant conduit that makes ideas alive and accessible. Hir doesn’t merely explore themes of gender fluidity\, queer theory and the subversion of toxic masculinity\, because that would be dull. It lightens the weight of concepts that many find foreign or fraught\, places them in a family setting and detonates them. Shrapnel flies everywhere”. The Guardian Australia (review of Belvoir Street Theatre Sydney production) ***** \nTickets to HIR are available by clicking here.

DESCRIPTION:Emmy and Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee Felicity Huffman\, renowned for her roles in the 2005 film Transamerica and the international hit television series Desperate Housewives\, makes her UK stage debut in the revival of Hir\, an explosive comedy by Taylor Mac. Playing at Park Theatre until 16 March 2024. \nHuffman plays the radical matriarch Paige in HIR\, a disarmingly funny and strikingly original comedy.  \nFelicity says of playing Paige: “I’m honoured to get to work with Steve Kunis and to perform at the Park Theatre. As an ardent fan of Taylor Mac\, I’m so thrilled I get to act in one of Taylor’s brilliant plays. I studied in London back in the palaeolithic era and it has been a dream of mine to come back here and work someday. I’m a lucky gal.” \nTaylor Mac explodes the dysfunctional family drama and reinvents it for our times.  \nNamed ‘one of the most exciting theatre artists of our time’ by Time Out New York\, Taylor Mac is an actor\, playwright\, performance artist\, director\, producer\, and singer-songwriter. Judy (Taylor’s preferred pronoun\, but any will do) is a MacArthur “genius”\, the first (and to date only) American to receive the International Ibsen Award\, a Pulitzer Prize Finalist\, a Tony nominee for Best Play\, and the recipient of the Kennedy Prize\, the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award\, a Guggenheim\, a Drama League Award\, a NY Drama Critics Circle Award\, two Obie’s\, and two Bessies.  \nIn a revival by critically acclaimed director Steven Kunis\, Hir grapples with a family in flux as they attempt to build a brave new world out of pieces of the old. \nAmerican director Steven Kunis directed the critically acclaimed revival of Joe DiPietro’s F**king Men (Waterloo East) and the acclaimed three-month run of S. Asher Gelman’s Afterglow (Waterloo East)\, for which Steven was again nominated Best Director at the Off West End Awards. \nIsaac\, the prodigal son (Steffan Cennydd)\, has returned home from the brutality of war\, only to discover his family home transformed by domestic revolution. The patriarchy has fallen\, and his mother\, Paige (Felicity Huffman)\, has been liberated from an oppressive marriage to Arnold (Simon Startin). Enlisting Isaac’s newly out transgender sibling Max (Thalía Dudek – See interview in QX) as her ally\, Paige is on a crusade to tear apart the old regimes – but in Taylor Mac’s funny and strikingly original comedy\, annihilating the past doesn’t always free you from it. \n“Hir – pronounced “here”\, the preferred gender pronoun of the play’s protagonist Max – reminds us of theatre’s potential: to be a brilliant conduit that makes ideas alive and accessible. Hir doesn’t merely explore themes of gender fluidity\, queer theory and the subversion of toxic masculinity\, because that would be dull. It lightens the weight of concepts that many find foreign or fraught\, places them in a family setting and detonates them. Shrapnel flies everywhere”. The Guardian Australia (review of Belvoir Street Theatre Sydney production) ***** \nTickets to HIR are available by clicking here.
