- Visitor Information
This dark diamond of a show is a quirky thriller that sparkles with the verve and danger of London in 1964. The audience follows Ray (Calum MacNab of The Firm and The Football Factory fame) and Graham - dog racing obsessives and unnervingly close friends - on a curious night out that ends on the most unexpected and arresting note. Through Heathcote Williams' witty and challenging dialogue, The Local Stigmatic shows glints of the new class tension - between the famous and the anonymous - and communicates a deep commentary on celebrity culture that is just as thought-provoking and relevant today. Made as an unreleased short film starring Al Pacino in the late 80s, this short and sharp piece at the Curtains Up Theatre in Barons Court never pulls a punch. The dogs are in the traps, the hare comes shooting round - and they're off...About The Curtains Up
The Curtains Up in Barons Court has undergone a radical overhaul (it reopened in August 2009 after a two-week refit), and is now part of the fast growing Geronimo Inns group (27 pubs and counting). Famous for its small basement theatre - which thankfully remains untouched - you can now get decent food (courtesy of the group's executive chef Peter Wright) before, during and after performances.
