Description
Book SynopsisA doorway to a new future is ready to open. We are the hinge of that moment. We will let the door swing wide.On a beautiful spring evening when both moons are full two teenagers vow eternal love. It is a moment that will have cataclysmic consequences. Not just for them, but for the world on which they live. A world where Prom Night is a matter of life or death, where weapons are grown and trained like pets, and where a chosen few are hearing a voice. A voice that speaks of ... Karagula.Philip Ridley's extraordinary, form-shattering
Karagula is a play of epic proportions. Written in a fractured timescale, it explores our constant need to find meaning. To believe we're here for a reason. To have faith in something. Faith in ... anything.
Karagula received its world premiere on 10 June 2016 at a secret London location in one of the largest productions ever staged in the Off-West End.
Trade ReviewWe need writers such as Ridley to take us to these dark crevasses of experience ... it all remains with you like a vivid hallucination * Arts Desk *
No one captures pain, violence and the misery of love gone wrong quite like Philip Ridley * Daily Telegraph *
Ridley, as ever a master of lyrical unpleasantness ... lacerating excruciating theatre, which leaves the audience exhausted and speechless * Evening Standard *
