In the front row
Peripheries is the word ’ for audience positioning for the next production of the Blue Ladder. The audience will be. seated around the edges of two performing spaces and will have to move positions during the interval between “The Information Trap” and “Babio”, the two plays on the bill. The first location is outside the imaginary walls of the office to which Hagaspaghetti houseamist goes in search of answers to his questions. Spectators will be around three sides of the action. The other location is around the sides of a pit based on drawings of bearpits from Elizabethan times. The spectators stand or sit around this while the slightly violent medieval farce “Babio” is performed. This arrangement of audience is intended to make them take the role of spectators as at a sporting event.
The double bill, which opens tomorrow, will run until February 2.
