‘War with the Newts’
By Knaïve Theatre after Karel Čapek
Witness the rise and fall of a new(t) capitalism. Deep in the bowels of an oyster-dredging vessel, an ocean of opportunity arises as a new resource makes contact. Global risk and technological revolution come together in this immersive experience from award-winning Knaïve Theatre.
The creators of international smash-hit Bin Laden: The One Man Show bring you a first look at their brand new contemporary re-imagining of Karel Čapek’s apocalyptic science-fiction satire before taking it to the Edinburgh Fringe. Featuring surround sound installation by sonic artist Robert Bentall and produced in association with Royal Exchange Theatre, Square Chapel and Waterside.
Warning: life jackets must be worn at all times.
