But life is hard, and dentistry is not much easier. As their business blossoms, holes begin to appear in their relationship, their business ethics and their teeth........ That's the storyline from Greed,' an award winning mime act to be presented by the Clod Ensemble from UK, between 19 and 28 April in Colombo, Kandy and Jaffna.
A romantic comedy, inspired by the silent movie era of 1920s and the slapstick of Keaton and Chaplin. Two skilful young actors mime the melodramatic rise and fall of a dentist and his wife. Without any words, the action unravels, including moments of slapstick, pathos and sideways observations about the ethics of business and the business relationships. Subtitles projected into a screen and melodramatic music, tug at the emotions in a gentle, ironic way. Starring Jason Thorpe and Sarah Cemeron with an original score for piano played live by John Paul Gandy. Greed premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2003. |
