Talk to me Like the Rain and Let Me Listen

A diverse programme of work is presented during this autumn by the award-winning Dundee Rep Ensemble.

The season is comprised of Tennessee Williams’s tale of love and loss The Glass Menagerie and an evening of his short plays, Talk to me Like the Rain and Let Me Listen, which will be performed in community venues across the city.

This is followed by Gogol's The Gamblers in a new version by Selma Dimitrijević and the final Ensemble production for the year, the Christmas show, Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach.

Amongst those visiting Dundee Rep are Simon Callow in The Man Jesus, Shobna Gulati and Joe McGann in April in Paris and the National Theatre of Scotland's adaptation of Joe Corrie’s 1926 classic play In Times O’ Strife.

Mull Theatre's The Drawer Boy by Michael Healy, David Greig’s Outlying Islands and Mark Farrelly's one man show by Quentin Crisp Naked Hope will all play for one night in October.

Community theatre events include a devised piece by Solar Bear Theatre Company and Deaflinks and work from the Shakespeare Schools Festival, a youth drama festival in which primary and secondary schools across the UK stage Shakespeare productions in their local professional theatre.

The season also includes a programme of live comedy, music, opera and dance, and shows for younger audiences.
