by imitating the dog (UK)

"...unlike any other piece of theatre you're likely to have experienced before...intriguing, a successful narrative experiment and a piece of art in its own right." Yorkshire Evening Post -  Reviewed in NEUES DEUTSCHLAND

Director Andrew Quick talks bout the show HERE

Hotel Methuselah is a contemporary ghost story that explores our fears around mortality, sexuality and the terrifying sense of responsibility that comes with having children. In a stunning homage to post-war British cinema and the French Nouvelle Vague, imitating the dog create a unique and disturbingly immersive experience for the audience.

Telling the story of night porter Harry's search to uncover the forgotten truth of his past, Hotel Methuselah is a searing tale of the destructive power of love and the hell of personal disintegration. Fusing spectacular live action and video projection, this is stylish, cutting edge visual performance that places narrative, emotion and wit at its core.
