“And there’s an amazing moment: each day,
before the market opens, before the bidding
begins, there’s a moment of confusion.
The money is silent, it hasn’t yet spoken.”
A traveller from a privileged background visits an impoverished
foreign country and suddenly becomes ill. As her temperature
begins to rise, she becomes emotionally unsettled and
contemplates with lacerating frankness the impact her life
has had on the world.
The Fever turns up the heat on individual responsibility and
the balance of power. Can we, should we, make the world a
fairer place?
Clare Higgins delivers The Fever, Wallace Shawn’s seminal play.
The Wallace Shawn season also features his new play
Grasses of a Thousand Colours (12 May – 13 June) and
Aunt Dan and Lemon (20 May – 27 June) plus a series of
readings to be announced.
