An open rehearsal gives you a look inside the making of a scene study from Telos Theatre Company, set in the heightened world of classical tragedy. The actors are working with Racine's writing, which lays bare the forces that drive human behaviour: desire, power, ambition, duty and the tension between reason and passion.
The evening shows part of an eight-week rehearsal process, where the actors question, experiment and find their way into the material. It also marks a new chapter for Telos Theatre at 176 Prince of Wales Road, the former home of Drama Centre London, a building long associated with actor training.
