Raz receives its London premiere at Trafalgar Studios
Preview by Lizzie Guilfoyle
FOLLOWING an award-winning run at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe, Anthony Banks’ production of Raz will receive its London premiere at Trafalgar Studios, where it runs from March 22 to April 16, 2016, prior to a UK tour.
Meet Shane, one of the low-paid generation that lives for the weekend while still living at home with his parents. Come on the raz as he hits the town for all it’s worth – tanned, buffed and blowing his wage packet on a perfectly orchestrated evening of drinks, drugs, and girls: a weekend millionaire.
Tonight he’s in charge, living it large. On Monday, it’s back to the grind and he starts all over again.
Described as a rollercoaster of a night out in modern Britain, Raz is written by Jim Cartwright (The Rise and Fall of Little Voice) and performed by his son James Cartwright (The Archers, The History Boys, Hollyoaks).
Also at Trafalgar Studios: The Jamie Lloyd Company’s revival of Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming (until February 13) and Hampstead Theatre’s production of Phil Davies’ debut play Firebird (February 17 to March 19, 2016).
