About This Show

This play is a modern reimagining of Arthur Schnitzler’s La Ronde, a controversial play occasionally about love and frequently about sex. It features 13 nameless characters tumbling from one encounter to the next, pursuing connection one way or another. Spread captures the essence of La Ronde and reimagines it for a modern audience. As with the original, every scene features moments of a sexual nature. Not for the faint-hearted, Spread is a whirlwind tour of desire, fate and the most dangerous force ever to enter the bedroom… love.

It has been over 120 years since Schnitzler wrote ‘La Ronde’ – a play he wrote for friends to read around the dinner table – never meant for publication. At the time this play would have been a particularly controversial document as it put respectable figures in untoward places. It demonstrated how sex transcends all social barriers and how even the noblest of pursuits can lead to heartache and desperation.
