press release
A celebrity death – cause uncertain - is the starting point for Backward Glance, the latest creation from multi story.
A woman has died, her husband provides conflicting versions of the circumstances and can't account for where he disappeared to immediately after the death.
A journalist smells a scandal, an investigator is determined to prove foul play. A mourning mother looks for somewhere to lay the blame. And the husband is on a mission in quite another dimension.
multi story weave their story from words and images that play with notions of myth and memory, love and loss. Differing visions of past, present and future fuel a conflict with deadly consequences.
Multi-layered and richly textured Backward Glance joins the repertoire of a company with impeccable Fringe credentials. The premier performance will be at The Komedia, as part of Brighton Festival Fringe, on Saturday 3rd May at 6.00pm. The show runs at The Komedia until the following Thursday. Backward Glance also plays fringe08 theatrefest, North Devon's Fringe Theatre Festival.
multi story is a dynamic two-person company that was born to Fringe! Gill Nathanson and Bill Buffery created multi story in 2000. They were mainstays of the North American Fringe circuit for a number of years. They made their Brighton debut last year with the critically acclaimed Cassandra – a production that they are taking to the Prague Fringe at the end of May. They have also established their own fringe festival in North Devon. Their work keeps them on a constant tour of the UK along with recent trips to South America, Canada, Norway and Portugal.
multi story “illuminate their chronicles with intelligence and theatricality. And they are marvellous actors.” Edmonton Sun
