Rollins


Narrative

February 20 - 23, 2025

Written by Anthony Neilson
Directed by Adam Ledger

With support from the Thomas P. Johnson Distinguished Visiting Artist Program

Anthony Neilson’s pioneering absurdist Narrative, fresh from the Royal Court Theatre in London, is a play about stories. Video clips collide seemingly chaotically with scenes, defying a tidy plot. Visiting director Adam Ledger of the University of Birmingham in England will take a fresh look at this thought-provoking and humorous text. The director and the Rollins cast will incorporate the latest viral media content to examine how narratives form our collective psyches and define our closest relationships.
