Just like the British summer, the Sydney run of Rodrigo García’s I’d Rather Goya Robbed Me of My Sleep… has flown by, closing on Saturday at the Old 505 Theatre in Newtown.  Produced by Théâtre Excentrique and directed by Anna Jahjah, this acerbic Argentine monologue was performed by Gerry Sont.  A clip of Gerry’s energetic delivery can be seen below.

Meanwhile in London, rehearsals have begun for the Royal Court Theatre’s world-premiere production of B by the acclaimed Chilean playwright Guillermo Calderón, which opens at the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs on September 28.  Having worked previously with Guillermo on Villa and Discurso, it is a real thrill to be collaborating with him again.  The casting will be announced publicly soon but in the meantime you can find more information about the play at the Royal Court website.  Sam Pritchard directs.
