ABOUT

A young timid playwright is invited by a neurotic, Hamlet-obsessed national theatre manager to discuss his debut play. When art meets production value things are never easy, but nothing on God’s green earth could prepare this young man for the zany ride he is about to take.
As it turns out the artistic director has a personal agenda concerning the playwright’s own biography : his deceased legendary actor/father (and best friend to the artistic director) who mysteriously died on stage whilst performing Hamlet. As the room becomes crowded with ghosts from the past, skeletons from the closet and other revived clichés, the thin borders between conscious and subconscious , theatre and real-life, implode in a groundbreaking climax.

Repertory Theatre is the debut production of The Israeli Elephant and Mouse team, which took the Edinburgh Fringe festivals of 2012 & 2013 by storm: from raving reviews and sold out runs, to being shortlisted for Best Ensemble by the prestigious "Stage". In recent years it went on to performing at London’s Camden Fringe and The Hague’s Shakespeare festival, as well as winning the Grand prize at the Stockholm Fringe festival (STOFF), Best play award at the Israeli fringe awards and recently the Best show at the Romanian 7B international comedy festival.

“A brand new company of israeli actors had just delivered the biggest jolt of theatrical lightning i’d experienced in a long time… comic timing to die for, they raced like thoroughbreds through the one act play with aplomb and style.”     Huffington Post​

“Israel’s Elephant and Mouse Company is a dazzling and unique piece of work: a meditation on playwriting structure and theatrical performance; a radical avant garde reworking of Hamlet and a damn funny comedy all at once.”     The Scotsman

​“...superb, absurdist, psychosexual comedy by the Tel Aviv-based theatre company…”     
The Jewish Chronicle

“It’s hilarious, fast, and , at its peak, incredibly clever. Watching this piece will provide the audience with that rare moment of enlightenment you can gain when you piece together all the pieces of the puzzle.”     What's Peen Seen
