Theatre503 announces its new 503Five resident writers

First look rehearsal images have been released for the multi-award winning Cuzco at Theatre503 which explores intimacy in a globalised world. A revelation about the clash of colonial histories and commercialised contemporary tourism, Cuzco is written by Víctor Sánchez Rodríguez, winner of the Best New Playwright Premio Max, Spain’s foremost theatre awards. It has been translated in collaboration with William Gregory who has worked on productions for international projects at the Royal Court Theatre and The Gate.

Set along the Inca Trail, Cuzco is a sharp contemporary portrait of a Spanish couple increasingly lost to one another. In a bid to save their relationship, they travel to South America to find escape and reinvigoration in Cuzco, the conquistador stronghold, Inca city of the puma and tourist paradise. Their tragic love story unravels as they journey towards Macchu Picchu haunted by their own desires and the ghosts of Spain’s colonial past.

Cuzco is at Theatre503 23^rd January to 16^th February 2019.
