Rehearsal photos have been released from The Woods, David Mamet’s 1977 ‘battle of the sexes’ play getting its first UK revival in 25 years at Southwark Playhouse.
Nick and Ruth are spending the weekend at a remote cabin in the woods. They push their relationship to breaking point in a night of stories and fights, only to rediscover their need for one another in the morning, but the final reconciliation remains uncomfortably tempered by the violent core we now know to be hiding beneath.
David Mamet’s play gets its 1st UK revival after 25 years, directed by Russell Bolam, at Southwark Playhouse from Thursday 24 February to Saturday 26 March, 2022, starring Francesca Carpanini as Ruth and Sam Frenchum as Nick.
