Brech 100, “The Seven Deadly Sins”

In celebration of the Bertolt Brecht centenary

In association with Jan-Van Den Bosch and jessica williamson of The Random Collective

In 1998 in celebration of the Bertolt Brecht centenary, Arthrob devised in conjunction with Jan Willem Van Den Bosch and Jessica Williamson of The Random Collective to produced a site specific theatre events, in one afternoon in seven different venues around Shoreditch (east London).

Entitled "The Seven Deadly Sins", each site-specific event took a different sin as its theme. The venues were varied - Hoxton Hall, The Old Axe Stripper public house hosted a strip show; The Lux cinema, the old Hoxton Boxing Club, St Monica's Church hall and a former Barclays Bank in Shoreditch High Street played host to a reading on greed by Bill Drummond though many of the audience couldn't fit in this deliberately claustrophobic setting. The event was directed by Jan-Van Den Bosch and as well as Bill Drummond (KLF), with spoken word performances by Iain Sinclair, Miranda Sawyer, Neil Bartlett, Bella Black, Hanif Kureshi and Scottish actor Tam Dean Burn.
