Theatre

You never know when the uncontrollable begins (It's tonight and this weekend)

This weekend The Factory have managed to convince the Victoria and Albert Museum to let them stage a free production in the new theatre built on the grounds by Carlos Teixeira. Presumably this is Carlos Teixeira the Brazillian architect who has recently been teaching at the Parsons School of Design Studies in New York. And NOT Carlos Teixeira, the world-famous Portugese volley ball player and Best Digger. That would be a cool show, too, though. Open air theatre, sandy beach for seating, net for a stage, and the cast in speedos and bikinis reciting their lines while lobbing and spiking balls slick with sweat and coconut-flavoured sunscreen at each other and the audience. Actually, the Factory are used to doing the unexpected. It’s not impossible this is the show. Six short plays from six playwrights, and it’s free. Gather at the Porter Gallery at the V&A, Friday 7 and 8pm, Saturday and Sunday at 1 and 3pm.
