Ruby in the Dust present
The Extraordinary Cabaret of Dorian Gray
Tuesday 9 March - Sunday 18 April
Press Night: Thursday 17 March
7.30pm (4.30pm Sunday)
Runs 1 hour 30 minutes approximately.
£20
Following two spectacular sell-out runs last year, Ruby In The Dust return
with Oscar Wilde’s only novel in their unique, brave theatrical format of
glamour, music and drama.
Set in last few delirious hours of his life, Dorian Gray watches sketches of
his decadent lifestyle play out before him, depicting the tawdry theatres,
burlesque bars, cabaret clubs and opium dens that were such a far cry from
the opera houses and salons of the Victorian Gentleman. Much like the novel
itself, the piece reflects the darker elements of Oscar Wilde’s own life,
looking also at Joris-Karl Huysman’s novel Against Nature, which is often
seen as one of the inspirations behind the story.
The piece made its premiere in October 2008 at the Café Royal, one of Oscar
Wilde’s own favourite haunts. Here it received the honour of being the last
theatrical event before it closed its doors forever. It was staged in the
very room where Oscar Wilde used to entertain his bohemian, musician, actor
friends, one of whom was John Gray, the real life inspiration for the
character of “Dorian”. The production then transferred to the Leicester
Square Theatre in 2009, retaining the cafe style flavour of its original
conception and has now been invited back for a limited run of six weeks.
The performance will be accompanied by original music by award winning
composer Joe Evans and is performed live by the actors onstage, forming and
integral part of the script.
Directed and Adapted by Linnie Reedman
Original Music by Joe Evans
Lighting designed by Paul Green
Designed by Christopher Hone
Cast: James French, Kate Colebrook, Nathan Lubbock-Smith, Henry Maynard and
Tamsin Shasha.

now become famous stars.
Rule of Three: The Sketch Com
26th July
7.45pm
£10
Ben, Ruth and Simon are a classic sit-com trio: the struggling modern couple
and the hanger-on brother lurching from one self-made crisis to another. We
follow them as they wrestle with the questions we all ask:
"What am I doing with my life? What happened to my dreams? Who the hell is
this person I'm living with? ” But their chances of finding an answer are
complicated by the surreal world in which they are drifting, a London
populated with the larger-than-life characters of sketch comedy – crazy
employers, clueless parents and friends that range from the obsessively vain
to the gleefully offensive...
‘Rule of Three: The Sketch-Com’ mixes the warmth and naturalism of an
observational sitcom with the fast paced, quirky comedy of a sketch show.
James Card, Brooks Livermore and Roisin Rae play each other’s mothers,
fathers, bosses, lovers and rivals in this part-farcical, part-tragic, very
comic story, in which our three protagonists try to find out where the grass
is greenest.

suicide, revenge beaten out on pots and whisky bottles, a live experiment with
vinyl & sound.

Theatre Seat Opinions: |
|
Please remember that cheaper seats often do not offer the same view /
location quality as top price ones, and that ticket prices are designed to
reflect this difference. Re-opened in August 2008 under new
management, the Leicester Square Theatre is proof that not only
Cameron Mackintosh cares about creating the best possible theatre
environment. The new owner has invested £600,000 and taken on a 30
year lease to bring to us probably the friendliest feeling
auditoriums in London. Theatremonkey wishes the team all the very
best and much success to come.
A main auditorium is in the space which was "The Venue," while a
new, intimate room "The Basement" offers a second playing area
beneath in the, er, basement...
Remember to arrive early, as the auditoriums contain nifty bars
and socialising space as the sides of the seating. These usually
open to the public from around 30 minutes before the performance
begins. Oh, and also take time to study the wall pictures throughout
(don't forget the one over the staircase as you descend from the
street) - a total hoot, unusual and original.
NOTE: This is a new venue, and opinions are based on "first impressions." It
takes time for any theatre to settle in, and the monkey very much welcomes
guests' views to build up a broader picture: contact us.
|
|
Main Auditorium
Once an old underground Ballroom frequented by "The Sex Pistols" and "The
Clash," then a church hall, then a clumsily created theatre; it is amazing what
professional know-how, thought, time, money and sheer love of theatre can
achieve.
This is now one of the most comfortable auditoriums in London. Brand-new
seating, well positioned (also heavily bolted down, sadly, and thus so far un-stealable - the monkey
tried as it wanted a pair for its lounge) impress greatly. The "night sky" colour scheme of the ceiling helps make
a fairly low room seem open and airy, and contrasting carpeting with acoustic underlay
help the sound reach all parts of the theatre clearly.
The theatre consists of a central block of seats in long rows facing a wide,
shallow-ish stage. Either side of the central block are two areas of "slip
seats." The auditorium is not raked, but seats are positioned "offset" to those
in front, and the stage is high enough to prevent viewing problems. To date (and
with many full houses) no problems have been recorded.
One reader says,
"Might be worth while pointing out to people that, given the size of the venue,
it would be difficult not to feel part of the action. Except of course in those
side seats 'cos you'd be looking at the opposite wall. LOL"
In the central block of seats, the front row shouldn't prove a "neck ache"
experience for anyone. Behind, in row B, the only issue the monkey noticed was that with
scenery in position making the stage smaller, the last few seats in the row have
a slightly lesser view of the performer. It doesn't anticipate this being an
issue for most productions, though.
A reader says of central row B,
"Lovely comfortable seats with lots of leg room."
Moving back through the theatre, every seat has a clear view. The real
purists might decide that the first and last four seats a little less central,
but the actual view is fine - best once past row D. Monkey advice is a row F
back if you are taking ends of rows, as these show off the stage to best
perspective.
Theatremonkey regular seat connoisseur James says,
"D16 and D17 are a good place to see a show from."
Reader Anne Gross reports,
"The Theatre is cosy and comfortable, plenty of leg room and a good view from
our seats. H17 and 18."
At the rear of the central block, a sound desk position is well away from any
seating, and won't distract, and two usher seats by the entrance stairs may
attract envious glances... sadly, not for public use. The nearest public seat to
the exit is Q8.
The "slip seats" either side of the main block have instantly become a monkey
favourite. An unbeatable combination of price, view and legroom, monkey like. On
the "high-numbers" side, two rows of eight seats run parallel to the wall,
facing the main seating block front-on across a wide aisle space. Viewing is
side-on to the stage, and the seat nearest the stage may be conscious of a
pillar beside it, but there is no impact on view. Best of all, the seats
furthest from the stage have a great viewing angle... and are almost within
arm's-reach of the bar.
On the "low-numbers" side, an interesting arrangement sees six seats in a
line parallel to the wall (as on the other side of the theatre), with a row of
three and a row of two behind that. There is then a gap, and two rows of
front-facing seats (one of five, behind of four) are angled to face the stage.
The monkey liked the two nearest the aisle in particular. Perhaps because the bar is but
a sparrow-hop away from them...
Legroom is comfortable in all seats for all but the very tallest (over 6ft 5
or so). Very best legroom are the front rows of the slips, and the first and
last seats in row B, which have nothing in front of them. The new seats are also
wide, "accommodating most broader figures admirably," as the politer
advertisements might say.
"The Basement" Auditorium
Once forgotten storage space, now a small room any performer with common sense
will be fighting to work in. Three short rows of traditional (and removable)
tip-up seats face a small floor playing area with projection screen behind.
Behind the seats are small tables and standing room, and in the corner a bar
which all help create a warm 'club' atmosphere.
Every seat has a clear view of the performer, and the performer has a clear
view of every seat. Legroom is unlimited in the front row of seats, and at the
tables, slightly less in the other two rows of seating.
From one-person stand-up comedy and plays to solo
song-fests, presentations and press launches, the monkey confidently predicts
it'll be impossible to get a booking for "The Basement," for either
producers or audiences, before very long.
Notes
397 Seats in the main auditorium.
65 seats, plus standing space, in "The Basement"
Air Conditioned.
No disabled access, though staff are working on this and other facilities as quickly as they can.

information.
