A solid gold birthday gift is in the midst of being unwrapped. The ribbons are loosed and the lid is slightly ajar - inside we see only darkness.

7 Jan & 7 Feb 2015

In a hotel in a distant city, a man is looking for answers. Back at home, he can only see questions. Does everything have a price? Do people? Does killing?

Deeply thoughtful and beautifully written, Wallace Shawn’s confessional play cuts deep into our relationship to our world and our wealth.

Directed by Almeida Associate Director Robert Icke (1984, Mr Burns), Tobias Menzies (The Honourable Woman, Game of Thrones) performs this searing monologue site-specifically in the uniquely intimate surroundings of a Mayfair hotel suite.

“Wallace Shawn… a corrosive, original voice…”
Ben Brantley, The New York Times 

The Fever takes place at The May Fair Hotel. Click here for venue details and directions.
