Who knocked 'Mad' Padraic's cat over on a lonely road on the island of Inishmore - and was it an accident? He'll want to know when he gets back from a stint of torture and chip-shop bombing in Northern Ireland - he loves his cat more than life itself. Recent events in Northern Ireland may have rendered this small but perfectly-formed play a 'period piece', but it has lost none of its appeal and impact as it observes the in-fighting within a republican paramilitary faction, covering the grisly reality of terrorism with a hilarious veneer.

Michael Foot’s
Powerful Courtroom Drama
The Trial of Mussolini
Directed Alfio Bernabei
WORLD PREMIERE STAGED READING
Sunday 18th November at 7.30pm
Tickets £8 (£5 cons)

Michael Foot's powerful courtroom drama The Trial of Mussolini gets its world première staged reading on 18th November 2007 at Theatro Technis, London. The Trial of Mussolini is still enormously relevant with its focus on political morality. In Foot's words the objective was aimed at "underlying afresh the international character of the war and how we must continue to resist the reappearance of fascism”. Foot envisages the Italian dictator arrested by the British Army and brought to London to stand. What looks like a closed and shut case develops into something quite different the moment several witnesses are brought in.

This first ever staged reading will be directed by award winning documentary director Alfio Bernabei, author of Dangerous Characters for Channel 4 and of a recent article in History Today, The London Plot to Kill Mussolini.

Madmen in the Courtyard

The politics of Good Guys may be a bit hot for some to handle, with its strong anti-English message. For all one might empathise with those who have been forced to leave their country and their homes, the constant snipes at British culture can cause one’s heckles to rise. Yet alongside this heavy political message is a fascinating example of original theatrical art. Writer George Eugeniou has created a delicious cocktail, merging scenes from Othello with a pastiche of the Greek chorus to create an up to the minute political satire.

The one fly in the ointment is that many of the actors, in particular Antonia Schauner, have extraordinarily poor diction, rattling off their lines at thousands of words per minute. That said, Theatro Technis sums up all that is great about London. We are fortunate to be in one of the few cities in the world where we can access the arts from the perspective of such different nationalities. By Roz Britton.

Theatro Technis provides a number of services to the community including a theatre venue/studio, a photographic darkroom, and Internet Access to our members.
