Autumn at the Young Vic The Young Vic has announced three autumn productions in its Maria and Clare Studios. Enda Walsh's Disco Pigs will run in the Clare Studio from 2nd to 24th September. It is directed by Cathal Cleary who is this year's JMK Award winner (see our news story) and produced by A Zelig Theatre Company. It is followed from 6th to 15th October by a co-production with Notting Hill's Print Room, a double bill of plays by Harold Pinter, One for the Road and Victoria Station which will be direct by Jeff James. It comes to the Clare Studio after playing in Notting Hill from 13th September to 1st October. In One For The Road three members of a family are held in isolation and interrogated one by one with nothing to hold onto but their innocence and Victoria Station explores the power struggle between a minicab controller and one of his drivers in a typically Pinteresque fashion. Orpheus in the Underworld by Jacques Offenbach, in a new translation by Rory Bremner, in the Maria Studio, from 30th November to 10th December. A Scottish Opera and Northern Ireland Opera co-production it updates the opera to the present day. Eurydice is married to Orpheus, a musician who, in her opinion, plays the violin badly. Really badly. Fed up with her husband, she falls for the devious Pluto and is soon caught up in a hellish situation. Meanwhile, bored to tears and spying an interesting situation unfolding, Public Opinion muscles in to ‘help’ Orpheus rescue his wife. But does she want to be rescued? The cast is Orpheus: Nicholas Sharratt, Eurydice: Jane Harrington, Public Opinion: Maire Flavin, Jupiter: Brendan Collins; Diana: Daire Halpin, Pluto/Aristaeus: Gavan Ring, John Styx/Mars: Ross McInroy, Venus/Cupid :Marie Claire Breen, Juno: Olivia Ray and Mercury; Christopher Diffey Directed by Oliver Mears with choreography by Anna Morrissey, it will tour Scotland and Northern Ireland before arriving at the Young Vic. These productions join the already announced Hamlet starring Michael Sheen and directed by Ian Rickson which runs in the Main House from 28th October to 21st January 2012.
