The Dice House by Paul Lucas
Directed by Naomi Liddle
Performances: Tuesday 15th - Saturday 19th July 2008, Prompt Corner
Do you look for a change?
Would you love to be someone different?
Do you dream of exploring every aspect of your personality?
In maverick psychiatrist Dr Ratner’s commune, you can do just that! Here patients surrender all their decisions to the roll of the dice. When Dr Drabble, a rival psychiatrist, hurls one of his own patients into the clinic to kidnap an inmate – his wife – a fast paced comic romp ensues, taking in love, paranoia, dismemberment, murder ... and chocolate éclairs.
This irreverent black comedy is inspired by Luke Rhinehart’s cult book The Dice Man and gives a glorious glimpse of how insane life could be if determined by the dice – and how ordinary it can be if it isn’t.
