Enjoy Kostis Daskalakis in his first London appearance!
Vague, dark, and unexpectedly comic. Like the Pythons, if the Pythons made a dystopian thriller.’ ★★★★ London Pub Theatres
RADA graduate company be•wilder theatre is back with their sellout show Old Joe's Fish and Chill for this year's Playmill Festival at the King's Head Theatre Pub.
... It was Old Joe's golden age: in a time when borders did not exist, travellers and regulars would queue up in front of the club for its famous fish and chips and colourful dance-floor. Everyone was a foreigner and everyone felt at home. Until the incident.
One year after a terrorist attack, Old Joe’s Fish and Chill looks so decrepit one might assume it’s out of business. Yet it remains the only place left in the world where people from anywhere can come and go without a visa.
There, an eccentric Greek drag queen, a solitary letter thief, a decadent dictator, a fearless refugee, an officious bureaucrat and an invisible drifter meet for the first – and possibly last – time.
Written by Stephanie Degreas and Raphael Ruiz

Ταξίδεψα από το Νόριτς (Norwich) με ακόμη δύο άτομα για να δούμε την 'Κατερίνα', αφού και οι τρεις είμαστε 'βιβλιοφάγοι' και είχαμε από καιρό δει ότι η παρασταση παιζόταν στην Ελλάδα - αλλά δυστυχώε δεν μπορούσαμε να πάμε.

Οπότε η πρωτοβουλία να ανέβει το έργο στο Λονδίνο ήταν ιδανικό για εμάς.

Οι οδηγίες από το λογαριασμό του Facebook για την εκδήλωση ήταν ακριβής και έγκαιρες και έγιναν όλα έτσι όπως μας είχαν πει, πράγμα ευχάριστο.

Η παράσταση ήταν πολύ καλή και ως θεατής έμεινα πολύ ευχαρηστημένη.

Ο χώρος είχε διαμορφωθεί σαν θεατρική σκηνή αρκετά έξυπνα, ώστε να χωράει αρκετό κόσμο, αφού υπήρχει κόσμος πουπερίμενε απέξω για ακυρώσεις. Το μόνο που ίσως θα χρειαζόταν να ξανασκεφτείτε είναι οι υπότιτλοι, καθώςάτομα που καθόντουσαν τέρμα αριστερά δεν τους ήταν πολύ εύκολο να παρακολουθούν εικόνα και υπότιτλο μαζί, αλλά κατά τ' άλλα όλα ήταν υπέροχα! Ευχαριστούμε!

Truly inpirational and a wealth of historical art and culture.
