Chichester Festival Theatre’s reopening production of Sarah Kane’s Crave, staged to a live, socially distanced audience in the Festival Theatre (29 October to 7 November 2020) and simultaneously live-streamed to global digital audiences (31 October to 7 November), begins rehearsal next week. Wendy Kweh and Jonathan Slinger join Erin Doherty and Alfred Enoch in Tinuke Craig’s production, which will feature a sensory sound and videoscape.
The production is designed by Alex Lowde, with lighting by Joshua Drualus Pharo, composition and sound by Anna Clock, video by Ravi Deepres, movement by Jenny Ogilvie and casting by Charlotte Sutton.
In a damaged world, four characters search for the light. Angry, funny, defiant, kind and cruel, Crave is a deeply personal meditation on the meaning of love. Pulsing with loss and longing, its resonance will be doubly powerful as we begin to reconnect our lives after the loneliness and seclusion inflicted by a global pandemic.
