after Strindberg - script by Sarah Bedi with additional material by the company
BAZ Productions at The Vaults, Waterloo
10th September - 1st October 2016
A mysterious woman arrives on Earth, intent on uncovering the truth about human suffering. Her dreamlike quest leads her through shifting landscapes and into contact with a host of disturbing characters as she searches for the ever-elusive Door, behind which she is certain the answer lies ... Can she discover the unconscious truth and return home? BAZ brought its unique brand of magic to the South Bank, inviting audiences to an exploration of dreams, desires and anxieties in a re-imagining of Strindberg's epic play in the tunnels underneath Waterloo Station.
