Old Bomb Theatre Presents BED at Jack Studio Theatre, Sept 11-29

Bed by Jim Cartwright will be presented by the Old Bomb Theatre Company Tuesday 11 through Saturday 29 September, 2012, with an opening set for Thursday, 13 September at 7.45pm at Jack Studio Theatre in London.

In Jim Cartwright's extraordinary play about sleep, insomnia and growing old, eight elderly characters relive their lives and evoke their dreams. After a year of epic national events, Old Bomb Theatre's superb production questions ageing ideas of Britishness, and what still holds true for us in the wake of the 2011 riots?

Old Bomb brings you another intimate and atmospheric show, complete with specially composed music and a very large bed...

Cast: Sean Aydon, Sally Mortemore, Christina Thornton, Barbara Miller, Dudley Rogers, David Hugh, Jackie Kane and Nick Downes.

Director: Cecily Boys Producer: Emma Spence

Designer: Ruby Savage Lighting designer: Simeon Miller
