Audiences react to God of Carnage | Lyric Hammersmith Theatre
They say kids will be kids, but the adults are worse - much worse. The other day in the park, 11 year old Ferdinand knocked 11 year old Bruno’s two front teeth out. Their parents meet up to have a civil conversation about the misdemeanours of their children in a suitably calm and rational way… what can go wrong? As night falls chaos ensues with explosive tantrums, name-calling and tears. Lyric Associate Director Nicholai La Barrie directs Yasmina Reza’s Olivier and Tony Award-winning play, translated by Academy Award winning Christopher Hampton. With her sharp corrosive wit Reza rips the thin veneer of civility with heart-pounding honesty. God of Carnage is the unmissable darkly funny roller-coaster you won’t want to end.

Behind the Scenes of The Stories We Tell | Lyric Hammersmith Theatre
Take a look behind the scenes of The Stories We Tell, a theatre cultural exchange residency that brought together a collective of young black queer women and genderqueer people from the UK, Kenya and South Africa. Find out more: https://lyric.co.uk/young-lyric/emerging-talent/the-stories-we-tell/ Created in partnership with Sibikwa Arts Centre and the National Youth Theatre of Kenya, the project brought together six participants – two from each country - culminating in two weeks of devising and live performance in South Africa in August 2022. Lead by British-South African Director Ameera Conrad, South African Writer and Director Tankiso Mambola, the collective of performers and creatives came together to ask the questions “Why do we love who we love and how does it change us?”. The final performance interrogated and celebrated African and British queer experiences, exploring gender, sexuality, ethnicity and nationality. Captured by Kenyan filmmaker Sheila Gakii Kimathi, the devising process and final sharing were edited into this short film. The Stories We Tell was a partnership between the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre of the UK, Sibikwa Arts Centre of South Africa and the National Youth Theatre of Kenya. It was kindly supported by the British Council and The Daneford Trust. - We are the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre. We produce bold and relevant world-class theatre.

Gary Owen’s critically acclaimed and powerful monodrama inspired by the Greek myth opens at the Lyric this September after a smash-hit run at the Sherman Theatre in Wales and later the National Theatre. Artistic Director Rachel O’Riordan directs Sophie Melville, who reprises her role as ‘Effie’ after winning The Stage Award for Acting Excellence and an Evening Standard Award nomination for Best Actress. 26 Sep - 22 Oct | https://lyric.co.uk/shows/iphigenia-in-splott-2/ Video by Black Apron Entertainment Music by Sam Jones

Meet the Director of Othello | Lyric Hammersmith Theatre
Meet Scott Graham, Artistic Director of Frantic Assembly and director of Othello, playing at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre from 19 Jan - 11 Feb 2023. Book tickets: https://lyric.co.uk/shows/othello/ A Frantic Assembly production, co-produced with Curve. Frantic Assembly presents its award-winning and electrifying take on Shakespeare’s tragedy of paranoia, sex and murder. Othello’s passionate affair with Desdemona becomes the catalyst for jealousy, betrayal, revenge and the darkest intents. Frantic Assembly takes Shakespeare’s muscular and beautiful text, combines its own bruising physicality, and presents an Othello firmly rooted in a volatile 21st century. This is a world of broken glass and broken promises, of poisonous manipulation and explosive violence. As relevant today as it ever was, Othello exposes the tension, fear and paranoia buried beneath the veneer of our relationships and how easily that can be maliciously exploited. Following highly acclaimed runs in 2008 and 2014, audience favourite Othello returns with an updated version for 2022, on tour from autumn and at the Lyric in January 2023. - We are the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.
