Towards the Sacred

Friday 21 March 7pm - 8.30pm

with Barnaby Tobias

Where do Anthroposophical ideas meet the mainstream theatre scene? How does the imagination manifest on the stage? How does the inner life meet an audience? Barnaby will lead us in an evening of exploration into the world of theatre. His latest play, Deal, is set in 17th century Britain. It explores what happens when we let evil into our lives, and how the soul and spirit reckon with the material. The piece has strong Anthroposophical ideas; evil being something that searches for light. As well as looking at what we hold dear, what is sacred to us and how we cling to it in a violent world he will also be exploring another piece, Putrid Beauty, a play about Lucifer trying to find God. The evening will consist of performances by professional actors, interwoven with a talk around the imagination, the stage and Anthroposophy’s place amongst it all. 

Barnaby graduated from the oxford school of drama. He has appeared on stage and television, and you might have met him working in the bookshop at Rudolf Steiner House
