Arcola Theatre to stage The Dog, The Night And The Knife

It has been announced that The Dog, The Night And The Knife, a new play by acclaimed German playwright Marius von Mayenburg, will receive its UK premiere at the Arcola Theatre.

The production will open on Tuesday 23rd September (previews from 18th September) and run until Saturday 18th October. The cast includes Michael Edwards, Beth Park and Stephen Ventura. Oliver Dawe directs. The Dog, The Night And The Knife is described as a "darkly funny and absurd play." 

A hot August night. M finds himself at the dead end of a dark and deserted street, where everything has decayed and time has stopped. Hurled into a nightmare world, where wolves prowl, hunger is everywhere, and nothing is quite what it seems, M does the only logical thing: he runs.

His flight through this land of blood and dust, flesh-eating seductresses and talking dogs forces him to confront his very existence, and as dawn approaches M realises this is one nightmare he may never awake from.
