Dear Friends, Fresh off from the heady buzz of our delightful Dario Fo season opener, we are already oiling the gears and cranking up the levers for something completely different!

🎭 THE EVENT by John Clancy 📍 Escola do Largo 🗓️ 08-12 October 2025 Synopsis In this original Lisbon Players production, Soren Hellerup, the actor, plays an actor with no name who describes in precise, often ironic and sometimes hilarious language just what's involved — emotionally, psychologically, philosophically - in performing for an audience. "The Event" is its very own theatrical beast wherein the actor's challenge is to play a character who is not defined except by his relationship to his audience. Everything that happens happens in the moment. There's no "back story," no questions of "motivation." The monologue, written by John Clancy, may seem to be about the act of creating theatre but ultimately it's about much more. It's about something fundamental in human chemistry that makes us want to communicate, to perform, to tell stories — all in the hope of making sense of the universe and discovering what our purpose here may actually be. Performed in English.
