The Love of the Nightingale
March 22nd - 25th in the Roxy Art House
Theatre Paradok, in Collaboration with the Roxy Art House, will perform The Love of the Nightingale; Timberlake Wertenbaker's modern take on the classic Greek myth of Philomele, a girl whose excitable innocence and lack of worldly knowledge lead to her violent rape at the hands of her sister's husband. In a world where a simple phrase can decide a destiny, fate and its minions perceptibly conspire to bring about a universally accepted tragedy vainly fought against by the silenced Philomele.
That is it in a nutshell. Fate, flippant fighting, dark comedy, tragedy, blood and puppets- it is all there. Plus, the performance will include live musicians performing darkly atmospheric original music by Atushi Muramatsu.
Theatre Paradok is a new theatre company that aims to accentuate the imaginative and experimental elements of student theatre in Edinburgh, with a truly international set of members and actors providing a correspondingly diverse melting pot of ideas. Paradok will be putting on at least one high quality performance such as this a year.

The play runs from Tuesday 22nd of March to Friday 25th at the Roxy Art House. Prices are seven pounds/ five pounds concessions. Doors open at 7.00pm. Box office number: 0871 750 0077
