Le Grand Mort will make its world premiere at Trafalgar Studios starring Julian Clary. The black comedy was written specially for him by four-time Olivier Award nominated writer Stephen Clark.
In his super stylish, sterilely beautiful Notting Hill kitchen, Michael is preparing dinner for two.
As he meticulously cuts the vegetables with almost a surgeon’s precision, he talks, with knife-like wit, about cases in history where the human body has continued to prove useful even after death.
As he slices and chops, one wonders who is coming for dinner and what the main course might be.
When Tim, his young guest arrives, they engage in a series of funny, thrilling but searingly dangerous mind games, as they try to unravel the reasons why they are both there.
Only when the games turn deadly do they catch a glimpse of the sadness and loss within each of them, that enables them to at least begin to connect with the truth, using whatever damaged shreds of humanity they still have left.
Starring Julian Clary – “Le Grand Mort will take me so far out of my comfort zone I may never return.”
Directed by Tony Award nominated Christopher Renshaw, Le Grand Mort will perform at Trafalgar Studio 2 from 20 September 2017.
Age guidance: 16+
