CONOR LOVETT ON IAIN SINCLAIR’S RADAR

Look at this! Ian Sinclair shared with The Guardian a snapshot of his current choices for cultural life in the capital and our Conor Lovett is top of his list…

“My companion said that she’d never seen me sit through anything in a theatre with such a terrifying grin on my face. Conor Lovett’s staging of Samuel Beckett’s story, First Love, at the Arcola theatre in London, mesmerised its audience by not getting in the way of the words. This was not a play, but a purgatorial incantation from the outskirts of amnesia. A seance-narrative of cemetery, canal, boarding house, immaculately performed in gesture and growl.”
