In 1881, the famed and enigmatic impresario Mr Edward Gant presented his renowned travelling show for the final time: a spectacle of grotesquery, tastelessness, black comedy, mystery and magic realism presided over by an opiate-addicted actor.
Neilson's play offers a strange and beautiful exploration of sadness and mortality, probing the nature of theatre and spectacle.
CellarDoor Theatre returns with its next full length production, the tragic farce that is 'Edward Gants Amazing Feats of Loneliness' by Anthony Neilson! A marvellously bizarre series of sketches inspired by Victorian travelling shows, Edward Gant’s Amazing Feats of Loneliness is a curious miscellany of tricks, jokes and melancholy.
