"You and me – Little Soldiers Productions UK tour
The theatre performance is based on the awarded Roger Simeon's playwright Tu i jo. You and me will
be presented at the Blue Elephant in London, as well as in Exeter,
Devon and at the Brighton Fringe Festival. The show mixes English,
Catalan and Spanish.
Two
elderly Spanish sisters live in a foreign land against the backdrop of a
battered rug and a mountain of mysterious boxes. They share an
existence of outrageous defamation, tender reminiscing and pure madness,
careering between affection and annoyance. But is their behaviour just
eccentricity or something more destructive? You and Me blends
laugh-out-loud comedy with empathy in a moving exploration of old age
and the effects of dementia.
Performed
by two Catalan actresses living in London (Mercè Ribot and Patrícia
Rodriguez), Little Soldier Productions is presenting an adaptation of
Roger Simeon’s awarded playwright. As part of its UK tour, You & Me will
be performed at the Blue Elephant Theatre in London from the 2nd to the
27th of April and during the Brighton Festival at The Nightingale
Theatre during in May. Please find the rest of the dates and venues
below.
To create the show, actresses Patricia Rodríguez and Mercè Ribot
teamed up with director Bryony Shanahan (Bitch Boxer, Soho Theatre).
Drawing directly from the actors’ cultural identities and sense of
displacement, Shanahan’s adaptation of Roger Simeon’s absurd text Tu i Jo (Premi
Boira Prize for New Writing, 2010) is a unique and original depiction
of dementia - with a non-conventional narrative style which combines
physical comedy, live music and several languages.
Little Soldier Productions was formed by Rodríguez and Ribot in 2010 and You and Meis
its second show. Its work focuses on promoting cross-cultural artistic
collaborations and creating shows that explore the humour in even the
most unlikely of situations.
Forthcoming performances of You and me:
March 21st-23rd: The Bikeshed, Exeter
April 2nd- to April 27th (Tuesday to Saturday): The Blue Elephant, London
