Scenes from the City

About

As part of the 2010 London Fringe critically-acclaimed theatre company Broken Glass is proud to present Scenes from the City, a collaborative art, literature and theatre project. Taking you on a magical and surreal journey Scenes from the City follows a shifting perspective of everyday life, turning the mundane and the prosaic into something extraordinary. From exhibitionists on the underground to lost loves and fading starlets, illustration meets narrative in a series of unexpected encounters and daily collisions. Scenes from the City is based on an online collaboration between illustrator Ben Lambert and writer Vicky Flood exploring a continuous and evolving relationship between visual and literary storytelling. The gallery will house the original text and illustrations, re-ordered and re-connected, accompanied by a radio adaptation of the narrative, performed by Broken Glass, and set to stills of the illustrations. The exhibition will also feature original photography by Laura Scott, commissioned by the company.
