Synopsis:
A major new work by Britain's foremost theatre poet, Tony Harrison, whose many plays for the NT include The Oresteia and The Trackersof Oxyrhynchus. His long poem v. caused a celebrated national controversy.
This epic sweep of a play takes us from a contemporary Westminster Abbey to the Arctic ship Fram - or Forward - in a fascinating account of the life of Fridtjof Nansen, the famous explorer and humanitarian. Captivating and visually spectacular, Fram promises to be a unique theatrical event. Tony Harrison's many plays for the NT include The Oresteia and The Mysteries. His long poem v. caused a celebrated national controversy. Tony award-winner Bob Crowley's epic designs vividly evoke locations from the Arctic wilderness to the Bolshoi Theatre. Ballerina Viviana Durante dances a piece created by acclaimed choreographer Wayne McGregor. Jasper Britton (Rhinoceros, Royal Court) plays Nansen, with Sian Thomas (Macbeth, Hamlet, RSC) as his friend, the actress Sybil Thorndike.
