21.13

Dancing Brick - Monday Lunch-time

This award-winning young theatre company took Edinburgh by storm, and now tours internationally. It was nominated and shortlisted for a Total Theatre Award in 2008. Their recent London run was a sell-out. 

'21.13 is a play about communication, which finds an Italian girl and English boy stranded on a deserted train platform for a night. With no common language but lots of time, they begin to find ways of communicating that speak louder, funnier and more sensitively than words. 21:13 is about creation and inventing languages. It is about failure and the frustration of not being heard or understood. It is about gaps: in language, in memory, between people, between art and its audience, between a word and its meaning. The play is backed by a full original soundtrack by the composer Ross Blake, using nothing but the human voice.'

The Fringe Review wrote: "Charming and magical with two impeccable performances from Valentina Ceschi and Thomas Eccleshare… I highly recommend you go see it." The Stage maintained that it was "Like a visual poem on the theme of misunderstanding, simultaneously hilarious and poignant... slick, perfectly-timed performances, enhanced by a magnetic on-stage chemistry."
