SACRIFICE

Written and Directed by Andrew Muir

β€œSix grand a month for one room in the basement of a disused pub on the corner of a dirty high street with no natural light and damp black walls that make it feel more like a coffin than a home?”

β€œIt’s the going rateβ€œ

SACRIFICE, a play that asks the question, β€œIs it worth it?”

Ardent8 – created by Ardent Theatre Company to provide artistic support to eight recent graduates who have found it difficult to make the leap from region to London. Through various workshops with carefully selected practitioners and a week-long residency at Soho Theatre the ensemble is able to access opportunities within the industry they have otherwise found inaccessible, but which Ardent Theatre Company believes is no more than an equal opportunity.

REVIEWS

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β€œThe presentation of the script is outstanding as the performers are snappy and make words buzz with energy as the exchanges go on. Overall, the work the whole cast put in pays off, as their performances shine through.” Rewrite This Story

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β€œMuir managed to tackle a handful of topics without leaving them underdeveloped. The play touches on racist comments and what makes them acceptable as well as how much people are willing to do for cash…All brilliantly performed by the entire group of actors” Hayley Sprout

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… β€œdeliver’s a powerful message about the disappointment most performing arts hopeful’s will experience in the real world” Fairy Powered Productions

β€œIn Sacrifice, eight talented young actors prove they more than deserve to take their place on the London stage. Funny and challenging, the play makes us consider what’s really important, and the price we’re willing to pay – both financial and otherwise – to get our hands on it.” Theatre Things
