A MADMAN'S DIARY...AFTER GOGOL

Synopsis:

The Diary of a Madman is one of the best known works by Russian writer Nikolai Gogol and sits amongst some of the most important works of world literature. It certainly bears the trademarks of Gogol's writings where a perfectly ideal world is turned upside down by a single event or action.

This brilliant short story that has been adapted into a riveting one-act play by Will Gluth and will be staged in conjunction with australia month @ klpac. KL audiences will be the first to witness the end result of an electrifying collaboration between three equally remarkable Australians - director Joe Hasham, actor Will Gluth and designer Mark Wager.

Originally set in 1840's Russia, it has been transported to a contemporary setting. The story centres on the life of a low-ranking civil servant who yearns to be noticed by a beautiful woman, the daughter of a senior official. His diary records his gradual slide into insanity. As his madness deepens, he begins to to suspect two dogs are having a love affair and subsequently declares himself to be the King of a certain kingdom.

Get ready for a weekend of powerful theatre as consummate actor Will Gluth draws you into his world of madness.
