As part of the Third Annual East Festival, Goldrush Productions proudly presents

Steven Berkoff's EAST: Elegy for the East and its Energetic Waste.

An electrifying new theatre production of Steven Berkoff's masterpiece written in

1975, East tells the story of East London from the perspective of five grotesque and

multifaceted characters using a fierce blend of Shakespearean language, Berkoff's

unique style of physical theatre and mime and the raucous and vulgar slang of the

streets.

The play's themes of adolescent lust, entrenched racism and the carnage of youthful

brutality on the streets of London are more relevant today than ever before. This story

of nostalgia and longing is reenergized by a new and multicultural cast to bring

Berkoff's timeless story raging into the present.

Described by The Stage as one of the highlights of the Third Annual East Festival the

performance will run as part of the festival from the 5th of March to the 8th of March,

continuing thereafter until the 29th of March.
