SOAPBOX - The Last Supper![]() 16 & 17 June 2010 Venue: St Mary's Centre, Chester Programmed as part of Chestival, a new festival for Chester - showcasing the best events and festivals taking place in the summer Tickets £12.50/£10 book online, call 0843 208 0500 or call into Chester Tourist Information centre Reckless Sleepers invite you to dinner, to sample the last meal requests of the famous and the not so famous. You're asked to eat and drink while they speak, then eat the last words of the famous, the infamous, of criminals, victims, heroes, heroines and stars. With real scenarios, invented scenarios, scenarios in the future, scenarios from the past, The Last Supper is part performance, part meal, made up of half-remembered words and the forgotten last requests of inmates on death row. Each audience member is given a table number, their case number, their incident number. Thirteen of these are last suppers. "There is something about the simplicity of this show that is unbearably moving." Lyn Gardner, The Guardian Since 1989, the award-winning Reckless Sleepers have toured, nationally and internationally, their own brand of innovative performance and installation work for venues such as the South Bank Centre and the National Museum of Scotland. In 1999 and 2009, they have been selected for the prestigious British Council’s Edinburgh Showcase. The Last Supper is their eighth touring production.
