This production began performances on 5th October 2006 and closed on 13th January 2007.
Spellbinding? An enthralling revival.
The Observer
BENT follows a personal journey from the cabarets and clubs of a hedonistic city to the inhuman excesses of a totalitarian regime, as a gay man discovers the true meaning of love and self-acceptance against almost impossible odds. A transcendent love story, Bent has touched a universal nerve in the more than fifty countries that it has been seen in and is now a standard on UK drama, history and literature syllabuses.
Bent is a technically accomplished, artistically ambitious evening. It makes you wince.
Daily Mail
This is the first major production of BENT, Martin Sherman's landmark play, in over seventeen years. This new production, starring Alan Cumming and directed by Daniel Kramer also features a new song, especially written for the show, by Chris Lowe of The Pet Shop Boys and Martin Sherman.
Raw, brutal and totally brilliant...Alan Cumming in a breathtaking and doubtless soon-to-be award winning performance.
