Beskrivning

A lazy Saturday for Stuart? With interruptions from a radio panel show, a threesome, the Black and White Minstrels, a nagging mother and a mouthy cat - no chance. Luckily, none of them know what he's thinking . . . Realism is an exquisite, surreal trip inside the mind of one man during an ordinary day. However, it veers off from the commonplace to become a deliriously comic trip inside his wayward imagination. Dreams and daydreams are brought to life to hilarious effect exposing the faultlines between everyday life and the world of the imagination in which fantasies ignore conventions of taste and political correctness.This is Anthony Neilson's follow-up to his multi award-winning The Wonderful World of Dissocia. The text was published to coincide with its English premiere at the Soho Theatre in June 2011.

Recensioner i media

If Waiting for Godot is a play in which, as one critic had it, "nothing happens, twice", Realism is a play in which nothing happens, spectacularly. Anthony Neilson's comedy, previously seen at the Edinburgh Festival in 2006, is a tale of inertia and of daydream - two potential ways to lose an audience for the price of one. But the result is wildly inventive, always entertaining, and ultimately rather moving too... The fireworks are fun. But Realism has an emotional undertow that makes it more than just a novelty item.
