Picasso’s Women (At the Melville Centre)
21st October 2016 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm
Four women in Picasso’s life – Fernande Olivier, Olga Kokhlova, Marie-Thérèse Walter, and Jacqueline Rocque – used and often abused by the great artist, tell their own stories. Perhaps the most challenging work of theatre yet attempted by Suitcase Theatre Company, this will be an evening where the women deliver their devastating verdicts on Picasso in forthright and uncompromising terms. ‘Provides a fascinating sideways look at the painter…ingenious, poignant and absorbing.’ (The Times). Unsuitable for under-18s and containing language which some may find offensive. £8 entry.
