A DARK yet humorous play by Stewart Ennis comes to the Winchester Discovery Centre next week.
On Wednesday, May 7, the Occasion Cabaret presents The Taking of Zena Charbonne, which includes video and live music, explores themes of boundaries, and challenges our concepts of what is socially acceptable and our perceptions of reality.
For Zena, the wife of environment minister Sir Michael Charbonne, the routine of her life is fragmented one wet February afternoon.
Bundled into the boot of a car and then held hostage, she begins to question past certainties.
‘Normal’ slips towards becoming an alien concept as lost dreams resurface and leave her wondering what normal really is.
The piece is performed by Catherine Gillard, directed by Peter Clerke and written by Stewart Ennis.
There is a live cello score by Robin Mason, and the production has been designed by Ali Maclaurin, with video by Tim Brinkhurst.
