DV8 physical theatre production of John (in cinema 9th December 18+)

JOHN

‘Bold, involving and utterly unique. Hannes Langolf's central performance is simply devastating in its impact and empathy.’
Daily Telegraph

Lover. Criminal. Father. Arsonist. Graduate. Charmer. Survivor.

This powerful new verbatim work by DV8 Physical Theatre follows the extraordinary life story of one man. John.

After years of crime, drug use and struggling to survive, John’s desire for a new life leads him to a place unknown by most.

Based on frank interviews conducted by DV8’s Artistic Director, Lloyd Newson, JOHN combines spoken word with movement to create a touching and poignant theatrical experience.

DV8 return to the National Theatre following their internationally-acclaimed productions To Be Straight With You and Can We Talk About This?

...and that’s why I come here, because it’s another door that’s opened, you never know where this is gonna lead.

Contains adult themes, strong language and nudity. Suitable for 16yrs+

Please note: the performances will begin promptly and latecomers will not be admitted. We therefore ask that patrons take their seats in good time.
