Devised theatre piece by Rhum + Clay, written by Stephen Laughton and directed by Julian Spooner and Matt Wells, about the filming of the 1956 epic 'Giant'.
Rhum + Clay bring Technicolor to the Connaught Theatre on Friday 26 February at 7:30pm, with a matinee on Saturday 27 February at 2:30pm. It's a devised piece they've built around the filming of the 1956 Hollywood epic Giant, which was shot in the Texan desert and starred Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean. The show draws on that production and on Dean's tragic death, and it adopts the language of 1950s cinema to stage the on- and off-camera action of the love affair that played out around it.
Beyond the filming of Giant, the piece frames the whole thing as a cautionary tale about the seductive power of modern celebrity and fame. It's devised by Rhum + Clay, written by Stephen Laughton and directed by Julian Spooner and Matt Wells, and it was made in collaboration with the National Theatre of Parramatta in Australia.
