A Cloud in Trousers
after poems by Vladimir Mayakovsky
performed by Samantha Bloom.
Samantha performed here at Wilton's in July and we're delighted to have her back here for a five-day run of this performance. Mayakovsky was a Russian poet and playwright, among the foremost representatives of early-20th century Russian Futurism.
A Cloud in Trousers was Mayakovsky's first major poem and it depicted the heated subjects of love, revolution, religion and art, written from the vantage point of a spurned lover. The script features poetry from a collection of his works.
This show is mesmeric and fuses poetry and music, Sam is accompanied by two musicians.
"It takes an actor of exceptional abilities to convey and make convincing such intense work... Samantha Bloom delivers just such an impassioned performance... the sense of intimacy is extraordinary." **** Metro Life
"The gamine Bloom manages to convey this emotional journey, seen from a male perspective, with sensitivity, while touching on borders of mental and emotional extremity tempered with some dark humour" The Independent
