World Premiere
Brave New World

With music by These New Puritans
Directed by James Dacre

'I don't want comfort. I want danger. I want freedom. I want sin'.

Aldous Huxley's ground-breaking novel bursts into life in this wonderfully witty world premiere. Welcome to the future, where a genetically engineered class system has finally brought order and stability to the world. This 'Brave New World' has no family, religion or war. Lust and pleasure have replaced love and art. People are safe, healthy and not afraid of death.

They get what they want, and they never want what they can't have. Everyone is happy now. However, when this stability is threatened, one young woman learns the pain of love and one young man gives in to the love of pain. Join us on a wild emotional rollercoaster, full of thrills and spills; a voyage into a future which sheds a blazing light on the present.

Pre-Show Talk by Prof Sharon Monteith from the University of Nottingham Tuesday 13 October 6.30pm on Upper Circle Foyer
