Horror Plays - Theatre plays in London now
Theatre is one of the "hobbies" that miss most.
Performing a play that is.
I love the environment, the people expecting what to see with living actors, the musicals, the dramas, the comedy (intellectual please or nonsense...no Adam Sandler style please...).
But what about Horror plays??
Did you knew that there were plays that could be comparable to horror movies/suspense/thriller?
There are a lot of plays like this but today I will show you 2 of the most thrilling here in London.
The Woman in Black
That's right! This 25 years on stage play from a book, was converted to a movie with my friend Daniel Radcliff (Harry Potter, Equs). This play is faithful to the book.
Plot:
The book follows the story of Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, as he journeys to the small market town of Crythin Gifford to attend the funeral of a client, Mrs Alice Drablow. At the funeral, he sees a young woman with a wasted face, dressed all in black, standing in the churchyard.
Bemused by the villagers' reluctance to speak of the woman in black, Arthur goes to Eel Marsh House, Mrs. Drablow's former abode, an old building in the middle of a marsh, cut off at high tide. Sorting through Mrs Drablow's papers, he finds a box of letters, and ultimately discovers the dreadful secret of the Woman in Black – to his own terrible cost.
Ghost Stories
The new sensation play! As you can see by the video, looks like people are seeing a Paranormal activity movie, but no. it's the actual play!
Ghost Stories is a play written by Jeremy Dyson (of The League Of Gentlemen) and Andy Nyman (best known for his work with psychological illusionist Derren Brown). It premiered at the Liverpool Playhouse in February 2010 before being transferred for a longer run at the Lyric Hammersmith in London. It later transferred to the Duke of York's Theatre in the West End where it played from June 2010 to July 2011.
The play is notable for running only 80 minutes (with no interval) and for its publicised warnings advising against anyone under the age of 15 attending. The marketing of the show outside the theatre is unusual in that there are no production photographs, just stills and video monitors showing the shocked reactions of audience members. An announcement at the end of the play asks the audience to "keep the secrets of Ghost Stories" so that new audiences do not have the experience spoiled with any prior information about the play.
Plot:
Reviews of the show have confined themselves to outlining the basic structure of the plot, which revolves around Dr Goodman, a Professor of Parapsychology (Andy Nyman) delivering a lecture on ghost stories.
In the lecture he discusses a website featuring ghostly pictures, scienceofghosts.com.
He has recorded interviews with 3 people who claim to have had a supernatural experience. Each story seems to hinge on guilty feelings.
As each interview is played back, the story is re-enacted on stage. The stories are recounted by a night watchman, a teen driver and a businessman awaiting his first child.
These stories are then drawn together at the end, with a twist, as the Professor becomes a participant rather than just a narrator.
Swedish House Mafia - "One Last Tour" and "Leave the World Behind"
Swedish House Mafia just finished launching the "One Last Tour: a Live Soundtrack", 90 minutes that transports us for one of the most marking moments in the electronic music history, the goodbye of the band in Los Angeles, in front of more than 70 thousand fans.
In that night, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello, played all the songs that defined their work ("One" , "Miami 2 Ibiza" or "Save the World" ), but also the remixes that they'd made to names like Daft Punk, Florence + the Machine, Usher or Coldplay. "One Last Tour, brings also a surprising acoustic version of "Don`t You Worry Child".
In an interesting reinterpretation on the band concept, this recording is also part of the movie "Leave the World Behind", that was shown firstly in the South Festival by Southwest, in Austin, and is being a huge success in the whole world.
On the 15th of April, both will be available in exclusive in iTunes, and you can already pre-order them through the following links http://swedishou.se/Film (for the movies) and http://swedishou.se/OLT (for the soundtrack).
My review:
When I knew that the band was going in different ways...my heart sunken. I am a huge fan of the Swedish House Mafia.
Of course this OST and movie will be in my collection.
Hope one day they will reunite, but it's always best to leave the "pantomime" with great songs and shows than to fall in disgrace.
