    Labyrinth

    by  LLL Productions

    “Today I killed a man.” These first words plunge us into a narrative that hovers ambiguously between murder and vivid fantasy as it depicts a woman on the edge, desperate to break free of the entanglements of a love affair that’s turned toxic. Has she actually killed her lover? Is this a violent reaction to coercive control? We can’t be sure.

    The original Portuguese version by Moncho Rodriguez (Labirinto de Amor e Morte) was toured in Brazil and Portugal by actress Marta Carvalho. This new English version, by writer Mark C. Hewitt, captures the obsessive visceral nature of the Portuguese original and adds, perhaps, a subtle layer of dark humour.

    “Labyrinth is full-on physical theatre in which Carvalho takes us on a woman’s rollercoaster journey through a myriad of emotions… It resonates on many levels, bringing to mind elements of domestic abuse such as control, coercion, and physical violence…” (Hastings Independent Press)

    “Immersive, bold, challenging…” (audience feedback)

    For many years the Bureau for Alien Defence has kept the world safe from extra-terrestrial threats. Now a mind-controlling alien has infiltrated Earth. And worst of all, it’s taken over one of the audience members. Can our intrepid special agents locate and neutralise this alien before it’s too late?

    ‘A slick, briskly paced and wonderfully anarchic production’ ★★★★★ (LondonTheatre1)
    ‘Brilliantly put together, witty and entertaining’ ★★★★★ (West End Best Friend)
    ‘Takes high-concept comedy to new and perilous heights’ ★★★★ (Broadway Baby)
    ‘A fast-paced hour of delectable silliness’ ★★★★ (Threeweeks)
