No, I am not going into hidding, that was the title of the play I watched last night at Southwark Playhouse, not far from London Bridge.

A brilliant metaphysical tragedy about the search for happiness … ingenious, Lorca-like … an unsettling dangerous play … makes you wonder how much other gold dust falls between the gaps of British theatre.

The Guardian

We reached the place at about 7:20pm and promptly found a seat in this small yet very cozy playhouse. The stage was not more than 5 metres away from me, and the place could seat a maximum of 50 people. Almost 15 of them where from my company, including a few spouses and ex collegues who brought some friends as well. Suddenly the lights go off, and the play starts.

Its a story of an advertising executive in London, who suffers a break down. Too many long nights at work, a death of his mother, a cocaine addiction was finally too much for him. He gets himself into a spot of trouble with the law, and then tries to change his identity.

Its a 5 actor play, with Luke Noris, playing the role of Charlie, the executive. There is Sophie, played  by Katarina Cooke, who is the only other actor who plays one role. All other roles are played by Richard Bremmer, Becci Gmmell and Steve Hansell.

A briliant play! I loved how they explored the theme of exsistance. Who are we? Are we the things we own? The things we do? Are we just a name? The writer manages to capture the dilema of life brilliantly. Luke Noris, was just amazing to watch! Only GBP 8, playing from 8 October - 1 November 2008. Go watch it!
