The Script

coproduction Kassys

Briljant, at times hilarious and in the end seriously depressing. As it ought to be.

What happens when a director asks six different actors to perform the same solo on the same night, on the same stage?

In The Script, there are neither a main cast, nor a supporting cast, only one role with six actors performing it simultaneously according to their own interpretation. How strictly will each of them follow the directions in the script? Will they give the floor to each other, granting a space in the spotlight? Will they ham it up?

There is a group on stage but we see no interaction. Separated, they try to do their own thing but are tied to the script. The Script reveals the frustrations of ‘living side by side’ without any real connection, and exposes the inability to escape existential loneliness, even when part of a group.
