Dodie Finamore and Kieran Dee on new play The Shatter Box
This week we are joined by Dodie Finamore and Kieran Dee, who are about to star in The Shatter Box, the latest play from Proforca Theatre, who we’ve been big supporters of over the years.
The Shatter Box is “a rollercoaster dystopian cat-and-mouse tango of interrogation, confession, staying alive and lying through your teeth”, so there was plenty to ask about when we sat down with Dodie and Kieran for a chat.
We talk about the play, what it’s like for an actor to perform in the round, and discuss why The Lion and Unicorn Theatre is a place where artists always seem to be. We also get to hear why Kieran is getting himself prepared to spending an hour every night in very cramped surrounds.
The Shatter Box plays from 5 – 16 September, more info here.
The Shatter Box
Lion and Unicorn Theatre
5 – 16 September
A man wakes up confined to a cage in a clandestine facility.
The cage will only open when he tells the truth.
The only thing that will save his life is a desperate act of compliance.
A woman is assigned to a cage in a clandestine facility.
The cage will only open when she uncovers the truth.
The only thing that will save her life is the ultimate act of defiance.
The only problem is that neither of them knows quite what the truth is, and neither of them knows quite how far each of them will go to discover it before time runs out.
The Shatter Box plays at Lion and Unicorn 5 – 16 September. Tickets available here.
