Ontroerend Goed Brings EdFringe Audience to Soho

Belgian theatre company Ontroerend Goed has announced a London transfer for its latest production Audience, currently running at the Edinburgh Fringe.

The show, which puts the audience centre stage, will  run at the Soho Theatre from 6 December 2011 to 7 January 2012, following a stint at the Drum Theatre, Plymouth from 1 to 12 November 2011.

Ontroerend Goed is an award-winning company with previous credits including The Smile Off Your Face and Once and For All We’re Gonna Tell You Who We Are So Shut Up and Listen, both of which transferred to London following runs at the Edinburgh Fringe.

In Audience, armed with a camera and backed by a screen, the company register every move the audience makes, instils thoughts into their minds and takes a sneak through their wardrobe. The audience is warmed up and taught how to applaud differently. It’s tested how strongly people stick together and how susceptible they are to group manipulation.  

It continues at St George’s West in Edinburgh until 28 August 2011.
