Pakita is back! Greenwich Theatre, 27th and 28th of May at 7.30pm

20 May

After a successful run at The New End Theatre Hampstead in 2010 and as part of Greenwich Theatre’s Emerging Artists Season, we are delighted to announce the return of our exciting collaboration with Little Soldier Productions as we present PAKITA STIMULATING, BITTER AND NECESSARY by award winning, Spanish playwright Ernesto Caballero.

Abandoned by the man she had fallen so desperately in love with, the brokenhearted Pakita finally finds the courage to join a lonely hearts group and share her story, but the tale that unfolds is not as innocent as it first appears. From broken hearted lover to fragile
psychiatric patient, award-winning Spanish playwright Ernesto Caballero paints a picture of love, addiction and
peculiar obsession, before unveiling an audacious final act in which life imitates art in the most tragic way…

Winner of a prestigious National Theatre Award (PREMIO MAX) for Mr. Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran in 2006 , Ernesto Caballero has enjoyed significant success in Edinburgh and around the world with Pakita. Now the play finally comes to Greenwich Theatre with acclaimed Spanish actress Patricia Rodriguez as the heart-broken woman with a dark history and a passion for espresso…

An intense character study, Rodriguez’s conviction and
the power of her despairing delivery makes it compelling
The Scotsman

A powerfully engaging and believable performance that will captivate your attention; so intimate is her portrayal of this damaged character that the barrier between the audience and the performance disappears… an intriguing, emotional play featuring a compelling, outstanding performance
