The Company Theatre presents the Canadian premiere of Festen, the critically acclaimed stage adaptation of the controversial award-winning Danish film, at the Berkeley Street Theatre from Monday November 17th until Saturday December 13th.
Helge is celebrating his 60th birthday at their family-run hotel. Gathered together are his loyal wife Elsa, his daughter Helene, his sons Michael and their guests. A darkly comic journey into forbidden family territory, the time has come for the darkest family skeleton to be revealed and the celebration becomes a weekend that no one will ever forget.
Festen is the British stage adaptation of the Danish film of the same name (which was released in North America as The Celebration). The adaptation, by English playwright David Eldridge, was first staged by Canadian producer Marla Rubin at the Almeida Theatre in London, and has since been staged in many countries around the world.
By David Eldridge.
Directed by Jason Byrne.
Based on the Dogme film and play by Thomas Vinterberg, Mogens Rukov & Bo hr. Hansen.
Starring Eric Peterson, Rosemary Dunsmore, Nicholas Campbell, Philip Riccio, Allan Hawco, Tara Rosling, Caroline Cave, Richard Clarkin, Earl Pastko, Milton Barnes, Gray Powell & Alex Paxton-Beesley.
