Soho Theatre and
Talawa Theatre Company present
pure gold
by Michael Bhim
directed by Indhu Rubasingham
27 September - 20 October 2007

Gold matters to Simon. His family needs cash, but is it worth sacrificing the respect and trust of the people he loves in order to get it?

'Where’s all the people saying that London’s such a great city? I’m standing here looking out, and every way you turn, you can feel the noose turning tighter around your neck.'


'...skilful, uncompromising production of an exciting, exacting new writer.'

'Sparkles with the delicately observed realities of city life, and comedy in the darkest of situations... Bhim's vision of London's 'forgotten' working class is superbly realised... dynamically directed.'
Metro

'The play has a force, warmth and immediacy... Clarence Smith is excellent.'
The Times

'Clarence Smith and Golda Rosheuvel ratchet up the emotional tension in Indhu Rubasingham's sturdy but delicate production... Mark Monero is excellent.'
The Guardian


An exquisitely crafted and searing new play from Michael Bhim, past winner of the prestigious Alfred Fagon Award and recently nominated for the Meyer Whitworth Award.

Indhu Rubasingham recently directed two sell-out runs of Fabulation (Tricycle Theatre), and the much-loved Yellowman (Hampstead Theatre/Liverpool Everyman).

Workshops available for groups of 15 or more.
