Based on the classic Kurt Vonnegut science-fiction novel, Slaughterhouse-Five introduces us to Billy Pilgrim, a soldier who becomes “unstuck in time” after he is abducted by aliens.
In a plot-scrambling display of virtuosity, we follow Pilgrim simultaneously through all the phases of his extraordinary life, from his time as a Prisoner of War during the firebombing of Dresden, to being a zoo exhibit on the planet Tralfamadore.
So It Goes Theatre brings their multiple award-winning production of this incredible story to life with expert storytelling and spectacular video design.
Considered one of the most banned and challenged books of all time, Slaughterhouse-Five carries its timeless satirical, anti-war story with a unique poignancy and humour.
Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Playscripts. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk.
