BLUE VEIN English Theatre Berlin: Triplicity Theatre F40-Kunsthöfe

A tragic tale of an unremarkable man with an all too human weakness

by Duncan Sarkies, directed by Fingal Pollock, starring Alan Glen, live cello playing Katja Kerstiens, photo: Elsa Thorp
TICKETS: 14 / 8 concessions / 3-Euro-Kultur-Ticket [Book Your Tickets Here]

It all starts with an innocent cheddar cheese roll, and for a while there Zack seems to have his consumption under control. But when he starts sneaking into the back rooms of parties to get his Camembert fix, spending unhealthy amounts of time at fondues and closing down vital laxative bodily functions, it is clear (to everyone around him, at least) that things have gone desperately wrong.

Alan Glen is a singer-songwriter from Canada. He spent over ten years touring Canada and Europe with his independent band before relocating to Berlin. Since then he has been dividing his time between music and the comedy theatre group Laugh Olympics. Blue Vein is his debut in the theatre as a solo performer.

Fingal Pollock has now been in Berlin for over two years. She came here after spending 18 months studying theatre with a small company of actors in rural India. In Berlin, she has worked with Laugh Olympics, Platypus Theatre, Three of Cups Productions, Galli Theater, Be Berliner, and the TUSCH in Schools project (not to mention some healthy clowning on the side!). She directed a successful run of Blue Vein in New Zealand, but when she met Alan Glen, she knew that she could not deprive the Berlin audience, and herself, of the opportunity of watching him bring this script once again to life.

Duncan Sarkies is a playwright, screen writer, fiction writer and stand-up comic. All of his work is characterized by an eccentric, bizarre and poignant black humour, which can leave the audience wondering whether the author is laughing with them or at them. Sarkies likes to show the ways in which all of us are, if not quite mad, then at least partly unhinged.

Tragische Geschichte eines unscheinbaren Mannes mit einer allzu menschlichen Schwäche

Es fängt an mit einer unschuldigen Cheddar Käse Rolle, und für eine Weile scheint Zack sein Konsumverhalten unter Kontrolle zu haben. Aber wenn er anfängt sich in die Hinterzimmer von Parties zu schleichen um seinen Camembert zuzubereiten, oder ungesund viel Zeit mit Fondues verbringt, und schließlich sein Verdauungssystem streikt, ist zumindest seiner Umgebung klar, dass hier irgendetwas schief gegangen ist.
