Afeast of Shakespearean comedy with a South American twist was happily devoured by an audience at the Nottingham Playhouse on Tuesday. Director Paulette Randall’s take on one of the Bard’s most popular comedies, Twelfth Night, brought new life to the well-worn tale.
"I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins "Benjamin Button," adapted from the classic 1920s story by F.
Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his 80s and ages backwards.
A man, like any of us, unable to stop time.
We follow his story set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be.
"Benjamin Button" is a time traveler's tale of the people and places he bumps into along the way, the loves he loses and finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.
