CITY OF GLASS
Stage Production
HOME, Manchester, March 2017
Lyric, Hammersmith, May 2017
59 Productions worked with playwright Duncan MacMillan and co-producers HOME, Lyric Hammersmith and Karl Sydow to adapt Paul Auster’s seminal work of literature for the stage.
City of Glass was 59’s first full-scale self-produced theatrical work, and made use of the groundbreaking theatrical and technological techniques that have made 59 Productions. City of Glass combines live actors and physical set with revolutionary projection and light-based illusions, as well as theatrical tricks and stage magic to create a fluid world capable of providing an extraordinary and disorientating visual analogue to the lead protagonist’s total psychological disintegration.
