"I’d Rather Goya Robbed Me of My Sleep than Some Other Son of a Bitch"
A dissolute father has a master plan to educate his sons: at night, break into the Prado Museum to see Goya’s black paintings while eating chorizo, drinking scotch and sniffing coke. On the side, fly in a hip philosopher from Germany as their guide. Sixty minutes of provocation and screaming to survive. Anything but f…king Disneyland!
Rodrigo García’s seminal work "I’d Rather Goya Robbed Me of My Sleep than Some Other Son of a Bitch" will introduce local audiences to one of Europe’s premier playwrights and his political, powerful, violent and extremely controversial style.
This one man show is set to challenge the ideals we hold true with“an explosive mix of vitality and disarray” - Libération, France
“Rodrigo García’s argument for the soothing power of high art is expressed with crackling energy.” - The Guardian, UK

Totally agree, Sister Ursuline as the music complement was brilliant.
Gerry Sont gave us solid performance but the play itself was one of those you like or dislike. I was on the dislike side.
Would pay to listen to Sister Ursuline sing and play the cello. Otherwise, that this has a no star rating became obvious a few minutes into the play. Got the theme; a six year old, not destroyed by consumerism and our western education system, is more philosophical than his doped up Dad. The swearing, drug and simulated sex references only elicited limited embarrassed laughs from the audience.
GReat show! The hour seemed like mere minutes. The music and performance by Sister Ursuline was mesmerising. I love the vibe at the old 505 too.
