Booking to 6 January 2019
London Theatre Company present the world premiere of A Very Very Very Dark Matter, a new play by award-winning playwright Martin McDonagh.
BAFTA and Academy award-winning actor Jim Broadbent (Iris, Moulin Rouge, Longford) will lead the cast as legendary Danish story-teller Hans Christian Anderson, directed by Matthew Dunster and designed by Anna Fleischle.
As dangerous, twisted and funny as his National Theatre and Broadway hit The Pillowman, Martin McDonagh’s new play travels deep into the abysses of the imagination.
A Very Very Very Dark Matter will play a limited 12 week run from 12 October 2018 until 6 January 2019 at the Bridge Theatre.
WHAT’S THE STORY?
In a townhouse in Copenhagen works Hans Christian Andersen, a teller of exquisite and fantastic children’s tales beloved by millions.
But the true source of his stories dwells in his attic upstairs, her existence a dark secret kept from the outside world.
