At The Sans Hotel

Being invited to ‘come feel from the front’ of the stage is indicative of a bohemian love-in, but At The Sans Hotel is instead a sophisticated exploration of the form/content dichotomy. The play balances large ideas of perceived reality with humour and charisma and references to Sontag’s German tourist, the dramatic arc and lack of a ‘resolution’ all make this play a very intelligent and thoroughly self-relexive performance.

Assembly Hall, 623 3000, until 28 Aug (not 15), 7.20pm, £10–£11 (£9–£10).
