Anthony Neilson's eagerly anticipated God in Ruins promises to live up to his absurd, beautiful and utterly uncomfortable previous work, The Wonderful World of Dissocia. Over the course of six weeks last summer, he devised the work with 11 men from the Royal Shakespeare ensemble. Neilson typically works with a skeleton script, developing the play through the rehearsals — a high-risk, high-gain strategy that has paid off in recent years. With comedy, song and theatre, this production is a macabre, brutally funny portrait of the single man at Christmas. Alone and facing nothing but takeaway food and video games, these men recreate themselves, via online technology, from the comfort of their bedrooms.
