Main Stage
The RSC presents
The Gods Weep
by Dennis Kelly
12 March - 3 April 2010
Overview
Colm has taken a lifetime to build his empire. With brutal rigour he has shaped the world around him in his own image.
But when he decides to divide power between his subordinates, the world he has created rapidly begins to fracture. Having unleashed a bloody power struggle Colm is forced to confront the very human cost of his actions as around him the body count begins to rise. Dennis Kelly’s savage new play explores what happens when corporate greed and state security frighteningly overlap.
Dennis Kelly is an acclaimed and multi award-winning playwright whose recent work includes Orphans, DNA, Love and Money and Osama the Hero which premiered at Hampstead Theatre. He is currently under commission by the RSC to write the book for a new musical version of Roald Dahl's Matilda to be staged in late 2010
Jeremy Irons leads the cast as Colm, directed by Maria Aberg following her celebrated RSC production of Roy Williams’ Days of Significance.
