Birmingham Repertory Theatre Company and Traverse Theatre Company present

Pornography

By Simon Stephens

Director Sean Holmes

Originally produced in Hanover, this is the English language premiere of Simon Stephens' stark and shattering new play that captures Britain as it craches from the euphoria and promise of 2012 into the chaos and reality of 7/7.

Simon Stephens is one of Britain's most acclaimed playwrights whose debut play Sleep Of The Just was produced at the Traverse in 1994. His previous work includes One Minute (ATC), Motortown (Royal Court) and On The Shores Of The Wide World (Royal Exchange Manchester) which won an Olivier Award for Best New Play in 2005.

Pornography is directed by Sean Holmes, whose recent work has included The Entertainer (Old Vic), The Caucasian Chalk Circle (National Theatre) and Sergeant Musgrave's Dance (Oxford Stage Company).

This production opens at the Traverse Theatre as part of the Edinburgh Festival before transferring to The REP.
