Spoonface Steinberg - The Nuffield Theatre Studio
FROM the writer of the smash hit Oscar-nominated Billy Elliot, comes the extraordinary, accessible and compelling play Spoonface Steinberg.
The one-woman play, showing at The Nuffield Theatre Studio from Monday to Wednesday, was first broadcast on Radio 4 to incredible public acclaim.
Spoonface Steinberg is a deeply moving and thought-provoking story about the experiences of Spoonface, a 9-year-old girl with an infectious perspective on life. She is affected by autism, and her quirky and eloquent take on the world around her is mesmerising, poignant and, at times, very funny.
We find out about Spoonface's love of opera, her savant qualities, and the complex lives of the grown-ups around her. Slowly we realise that she is terminally ill, and that we are witnessing the swansong of quite an extraordinary little girl.
Extra performances are being laid on due to heavy tickets sales.
Tickets: 023 8067 1771 or nuffieldtheatre.co.uk.
