England
by Tim Crouch
London premiere in association with the National Theatre and Whitechapel Gallery
A story of a transplant: a heart inside a body, a culture inside another country’s culture.
Told by two guides in Whitechapel Gallery, England takes us to a place of urgency about the values we give to human life and art.
'It teases infinitely more thought than a well-made play could dream. It's witty, pungently poetic and mesmerising. Don't miss.' Kultureflash.com
