Little Malcolm and his Struggle Against the Eunuchs - Southwark Playhouse
Preview by Lizzie Guilfoyle
A REVIVAL of Little Malcolm and his Struggle Against the Eunuchs, David Halliwell’s startlingly pertinent comedy, runs at Southwark Playhouse (The Little) from Wednesday, July 8 to Saturday, August 1, 2015.
This 50th anniversary production is the first in London in 16 years.
You’ve all betrayed yourselves! You’ll be nothing but self-hating eunuchs. Disobey! Disobey like freemen!
The North. A young man rejected by an institution, let down by the system, starts a revolution. In his flat. In Huddersfield, the centre of everything.
Malcolm Scrawdyke is a man screaming at the walls. Uniting his friends he aims to take vengeance on a world that has spat him out. The aim? Absolute power for powers sake. The Party of Dynamic Erection is forming…
The cast includes Daniel Easton (Reynaldo, Hamlet, RSC; Bagot, Richard II, Donmar Warehouse); Barney McElholm (Sirens, Arcola Theatre); Scott Arthur; Laurie Jamieson (Weekend Rockstars, Hull Truck); Rochenda Sandall (Coriolanus, National Theatre).
Produced by Soggy Arts in association with Folie à Deux Productions, Little Malcolm and his Struggle Against the Eunuchs is directed by Clive Judd and designed by Eleanor Field.
