Sports Play by Elfriede Jelinek

Coinciding with the London 2012 Olympics, Just a Must, in partnership with the Austrian Cultural Forum London, is staging the English language premiere of Sports Play by Nobel Prize laureate Elfriede Jelinek, author of The Piano Teacher.

Jelinek explores the marketing and sale of human bodies and emotions in sports with angry wit, questioning our obsession with fitness, body image and high performance at any cost. Sport is seen as a medium for fanaticism, as a form of war in peacetime.

Blurring the boundaries between a theatre event and a sports event, this performance turns Jelinek's linguistic gymnastics into an Olympic feat for the actors and audiences alike.
