UK PREMIERE
NOCTURNAL
By JUAN MAYORGA
Translated by David Johnston
16 April - 16 May 2009
Two men live in the same apartment block. One likes long walks, Greek myths and foreign languages. The other likes making lists, fixing bikes and blackmail.
One day, they bump into each other in a local café. Only this is no coincidence: one of them has been planning this moment for a very, very, very long time.
When you're alone in a big city, how far would you go to make a new friend?
A brilliant new satire about obsession, insomnia and ships that pass in the night.
