Published by Oberon
Seven self-regarding critics assemble at a disused theatre
in response to a mysterious invitation
Too late they discover its gruesome purpose as Edward Lionheart, an actor frenzied by a lifetime of sneering reviews, hacks his revengeful way through the bloody works of Shakespeare, assisted by a gang of murderous tramps
The laws of theatre supersede the laws of physics in this macabre exhibition of putty noses, Kensington gore and some very large acting indeed
Theatre of Blood is an Improbable production, produced in collaboration with the National Theatre
