Death in Venice

Greg Hicks returns to Arcola Theatre in a new production from director Philip Prowse

A distinguished German writer arrives in Venice, seeking escape from the public eye. He finds distraction in a young boy, convincing himself that his interest is purely artistic. But as the city yields to a sinister disease, his growing obsession threatens to submerge him.

This unflinching, solo adaptation of Nobel Prize-winning author Thomas Mann’s novella reunites actor Greg Hicks with director Philip Prowse.
