La sombra de Audrey

My 25-year-old play, Showstopper, is being revived in Madrid at the Teatro Lara with Laura Enrech, directed and translated by David Pintó who previously directed a version of it in Catalan (as Des de l’ombra in Esparreguera). David is a lovely guy who has been tirelessly devoted to this play over several years and, when I was in Barcelona several years ago, gave me a terrifying lift on the back of his motorbike through the busy streets of the city. The poster for the new production is above and it looks gorgeous. Spanish, it seems, having no direct equivalent of the word Showstopper, this new production is going under the title The Shadow of Audrey. (Audrey Hepburn is an off-stage figure who haunts this play…)

Performances begin on 11 April and run every Sunday until the end of May. Tickets can be booked HERE.

There was a short feature on Spanish TV about it which you can watch below.
