The Gambler

This production is part of our Arts of Wellbeing week at The Cockpit.

An enthralling visual tale combining movement, live music and new writing

Drawing on the experience of real gambling addicts in London, The Gambler is the story of Edgar; an old man trapped in his past. As he confronts his addiction, he wonders if his decisions were truly his own. Each spin of the wheel recalls the promise of a life he could have had. He gambles to remember, he gambles to forget.

Theatre Re in an international company creating shows on the edge of mime and theatre. The company has toured work in France, Ireland and the UK. The Gambler is supported by Arts Council England and Haringey Council.
