A curious journey

CURIOUSER and curiouser might be a fair description of a one-man show that is coming to Chipping Norton theatre. Artaud in Wonderland dramatises the last moments of the playwright Artaud as he attempts to hold off death with his surreal imaginings. During the play Artaud, among other things, has dinner with Hitler, becomes a Marx Brother and confronts his own double. The performance is at 8pm next Tuesday at Chipping Norton theatre. Tickets are available from the box office on 01608 642350.
