NUT!
after DUMAS, Hoffman and Tchaïkovski
A site specific Christmas show with a toy war, after The Nutcracker by Alexandre Dumas
French Institute
Directed by David Furlong
The Title says it all! Exchange Theatre’s hilarious take on The Nutcracker! The Nutcracker is certainly the most obvious Christmas tale. Written by Hoffman, and made famous by Tchaikovsky. Alexandre Dumas was asked to write a tale by a child and as he was falling asleep in a party, he was inspired to rewrite his version of the Nutcracker as an encouragement to never stop dreaming. It was the most appropriate choice for our first christmas show in December 2010 as Exchange Theatre turned the mediatheque upside down with a real candy castle and a real toy fight thrown together.
