Ahead of its UK tour, Icarus’ blistering and award-winning production of Eugene Ionesco’s classic dark comedy, The Lesson, opens at Southwark Playhouse for a four week limited season.
‘In this world of ours, Mademoiselle, one can never be sure of anything.’
A mild-mannered professor takes on a new pupil, and swiftly descends into tyranny, becoming bent on her destruction; a comically surreal exposé about power, knowledge and those who hoard both.
All performances are enhanced by a bold projection design that features an exciting new Creative Captioning technology, supported by Arts Council England, ensuring that every performance is accessible for deaf and hard of hearing audiences as well as enhancing the creative story.
The Lesson is at Southwark Playhouse 29th June to 23rd July 2022.
