The Lights by Howard Korder: new theatre production at "The Spring"

We didn't used to have any theatres hereabouts and now it seems you can't shake a stick without hitting one.

No longer will we have to make do with the Lost Theatre on Wandsworth Road and the forthcoming theatre at the currently theatre-less Tea House Theatre. A production is to take place in "The Spring", which is presumably what is or was the Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre aka The Spring Community Centre aka The Spring Garden. Who knows? It's an SE11 thing.  In any case it's at 100 Vauxhall Walk.

According to its website Define Choice theatre company is "a home-grown, hand-made, organically-reared Theatre Company based in West London that focuses predominantly on new-writing. Not content to sit around waiting for the phone to ring, a small group of actors decided to get on and do something for themselves. Written, directed & performed by the ensemble – the group’s goals lie with self-sufficiency & the potential of affecting a change".

The Lights will run on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from 3rd to 30th October 2011 at 7.30pm and is described thus:

A dark journey through an unnamed American city whose structure and society is crumbling. Over 24 hours on seemingly lawless streets, a young couple encounter the miscellany of city life from the pavement to the penthouse. Written by Howard Korder, a Pulitzer Prize nominee who is best known for his screenwriting (HBO's Boardwalk Empire); The Lights hasn’t been professionally performed in the UK since the original production at The Royal Court in 1996.
