THE ORCHESTRA
By Jean Anouilh
Presented by TeatroLatino
Directed by Kristine Landon-Smith
“Bang bang bang – that’s love for you”
A third-rate café orchestra in a small French spa town play their time worn music to an indifferent audience.
The musician’s idle chit-chat between and during arrangements, serve only to fuel their frustrations and power struggles. Seething volcanoes start to erupt behind a seemingly respectable facade.
Jealousy, gossip and thwarted emotions reach a tragic climax – but the music goes jauntily on…
Multi award-winner Kristine Landon Smith directs French dramatist Jean Anouilh’s comedy classic.
‘Kristine Landon-Smith directs with an impeccable sense of social comedy, full of embarrassment, hilarity and pain.’ On East Is East, Sunday Times
