Patrick Barlow Bücher
Patrick Barlow ist für seine unverwechselbare komödiantische Stimme bekannt, die sich sowohl in seiner Arbeit als Schauspieler als auch als Dramatiker zeigt. Unter seinem Alter Ego Desmond Olivier Dingle gründete er das National Theatre of Brent, eine gefeierte Zwei-Mann-Kompanie, die für ihre innovativen und oft absurden Theaterproduktionen berühmt ist. Barlow verbindet meisterhaft literarische Tradition mit zeitgenössischem Humor und schafft Werke, die sowohl urkomisch als auch zum Nachdenken anregend sind. Sein Talent liegt darin, bekannte Erzählungen mit einer frischen, fesselnden und einzigartigen Perspektive neu zu interpretieren, die das Publikum begeistert.
Just in time for Christmas, the distinguished historian and thespian, Desmond Olivier Dingle and his assistant Raymond Box, bring us their version of the greatest story ever told. Thrill at the mystery of the virgin birth, gasp at the miracles, and be moved by the Sermon on the Hill. schovat popis
Patrick Barlow's Olivier Award winning stage adaptation, based on John Buchan's gripping whodunit - memorably fi lmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935 - played for nine years at the Criterion Theatre in the West End. The 39 Steps, Abridged and The 39 Steps, Even More Abriged are shorter versions of the play at 60 and 40 minutes respectively. They speed along but never miss any of the comic brilliance and thrilling moments of the full-length play. The shorter versions feature the most loved and legendary scenes including the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the escape on The Forth Bridge, the fi rst theatrical bi-plane crash ever staged and the death-defying (or nearly!) fi nale at the London Palladium! With four actors playing a minimum of one hundred and thirty-nine roles, it's the most astonishing theatrical tour de force of the year.
