Critically-acclaimed London fringe theatre company Broken Glass is proud to present Scenes from the City – a collaborative art, literature and theatre project.
Taking you on a magical and surreal journey Scenes from the City follows a shifting perspective of everyday life, turning the mundane and the prosaic into something extraordinary. From exhibitionists on the underground to lost loves and fading starlets, illustration meets narrative in a series of unexpected encounters and daily collisions.
Scenes from the City is based on an online collaboration between illustrator Ben Lambert and writer Vicky Flood exploring a continuous and evolving relationship between visual and literary storytelling. The gallery will house the original text and illustrations, re-ordered and re-connected, accompanied by a radio adaptation of the narrative, performed by Broken Glass, and set to stills of the illustrations. The exhibition will also feature original photography by Laura Scott, commissioned by the company.
Nolias Gallery, 60 Great Suffolk Street, SE1 0BL
Private View 5th August, 6pm / Open 6-9th August, 1-6pm, 10th August, 11am-3pm
