Sound&Fury brings stars to Young Vic

First Published 17 October 2011, Last Updated 14 February 2012

Following the success of claustrophobic submarine-set drama Kursk, theatre company Sound&Fury is to return to the Young Vic with a story of galactic proportions.

Going Dark, which runs at the Waterloo venue from 6 to 24 March 2012, follows Max, a narrator in a planetarium. It is his job to ask cosmic questions on a daily basis, but when his life is turned upside down, Max discovers that understanding the universe requires a different kind of vision.

Hoping to create as immerse a theatrical experience as Kursk offered, the team from Sound&Fury worked with experts in astronomy and visual perception before creating the projections, lighting and sound technology for Going Dark.

Running in the Young Vic’s Clare theatre, Going Dark joins a line up of shows in the venue’s winter/spring season that also includes Michael Sheen in Hamlet, Rory Bremner’s translation of the opera Orpheus In The Underworld and Patrick Stewart in Bingo.
