As David Hare’s The Vertical Hour opens in Park 200, Jez Bond, Artistic Director of Park Theatre, announces the cast for the London première of Robert Holman’s Jonah and Otto. Tim Stark will direct Alex Waldmann as Jonah and Peter Egan opposite him as Otto. Both funny and haunting, the play was critically acclaimed when it first ran at the Royal Exchange in 2008. This will be the first Holman play to be produced in London since Making Noise Quietly at the Donmar Warehouse in 2012.
“God doesn’t care about you. Why should I?”
Over the course of a single day two men share their solitude and unfold their secrets. They disagree with each other about women, about lust and about guilt. They question the power of magic, of redemption and the price of freedom, each seeing himself more clearly through the eyes of the other.
