News from Southwark Playhouse
Although its longer term future looks encouraging - with the support
of Southwark Council and a leading property developer, they hope to
be included in a development due to be completed in the next five years
- the short term future is not so bright. A statement from the theatre
says:
"We are currently negotiating with our landlord to stay in our
current home till the end of the year.
"Beyond this time we need to find temporary premises. We are
currently in talks with a number of organisations and we hope to have
a short term home confirmed in the next couple of months.
"Rest assured our temporary home will still be based in Southwark
and will be walking distance from our current location."
The theatre has announced its summer programme:

Stonecrabs presents
Senhora dos Afogados/Our Lady of the Drowned
by Nelson Rodrigues
The bourgeois house of the Drummond family is juxtaposed against the
world of the dockyard brothels to reveal truths hidden for nineteen
years.
Misael Drummond’s buried past and the fate of his daughter, Moema,
will only be resolved by the weight of her forbidden desires, and
the revenge she seeks.
Written in 1947 this play, at times humorous and always provocative,
is the essence of Rodrigues, one of the finest Brazilian playwrights
of all times.
12th July - 5th August 2006
Pieces of Work presents
The Cherry Orchard
by Anton Chekov
