Compagnia Rodisio
Story of a Family
English premiere
Every family is different. Yet some things are the same wherever you live...
There once was a man and a woman. They kissed and got married. And soon - to crown their dream love - a little girl arrived. Now they were a family...
Story of a Family takes a darkly comic peek at normal folk going about their normal business. In the home, in the kitchen, at the dinner table. It is here that they act out their 'happy family' in a helter-skelter of chores, rituals and ever spiralling repetitions.
But beneath the house-proud heroics and motivational mantras cracks are beginning to show...
Devised by Italian theatre makers Rodisio, Story of a Family is the perfect introduction to European theatre for young people, tackling serious issues with a light, knockabout touch. Funny, heartbreaking and oh, so familiar, it is a touching reminder of our everyday imperfections...
'...a high-energy comedy (with a bitter twist) that does a splendid job of entertaining all ages.'
