The Rest Will Be Familiar to You from Cinema by Martin Crimp

Part of a season of two contemporary responses to ancient Greek theatre at the Bridewell Theatre, this production is created with and performed by students from MA/MFA Actor and Performer Training and BA European Theatre Arts programmes at Rose Bruford College.

Drawing on The Phoenician Women by Euripides, ’s powerful adaptation reimagines this rarely staged work through a bold, contemporary lens. The production’s director, course leader , brings his signature multidisciplinary approach to this work, combining striking visuals and physicality with a haunting sonic environment to examine the cyclical nature of civil wars and the devastation that lingers in their wake.

Crimp’s version premiered in German at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in 2013, directed by Katie Mitchell, and was later staged at the Avignon Festival in 2019. Talijančić’s production is the English-language world premiere of the play.

Ivan is artistic co-director of the New York based multidisciplinary art group and a Usual Suspect at the New York Theatre Workshop.
