Better known to many through Francis Ford Copolla’s masterpiece adaptation Apocalypse Now, Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness is one of the greatest 20th Century novellas and stands as one of the most insightful, dramatic and damning descriptions of Western colonial exploitation. Drawing comparisons with current conflicts and tensions, the work is an unrivalled investigation into the brutality and madness of colonial intervention. It is a savage denunciation of the secret crimes of the West and a penetrating psychological study of a mind in turmoil, told in the unsurpassed language of one of the great literary stylists. Potent and moody, Heart of Darkness will be delivered entire and complete for the first time ever by Gavin Kostick (Fishamble Theatre Company). Running time of 5 hrs 30 mins, with intervals and refreshments.
