From Monsters and Critics.com Arts News London: The National Theatre production of Peter Handle's The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each Other opens today at the Lyttelton. The cast of the play includes Pip Carter, Lisa Dillon, Callum Dixon, Noma Dumezweni, Susannah Fielding, Amy Hall, Daniel Hawksford, Daniel Poyser, Sara Stewart, Giles Terera, Simon Wilson, and Sarah Woodward. This new translation of Peter Handke's play by Meredith Oakes features set design by Hildegard Bechtler, costume design by Moritz Junge, lighting design by Jean Kalman, music by Mel Mercier, sound design by Christopher Shutt, and direction by James Macdonald. Press notes for the play read as follows: For a moment, a bright, empty town square. And then a figure darts across, and another and another – businesspeople, roller-bladers, a cowboy, several street-sweepers, a halfdressed bride, a film crew, a line of old men, a tourist, a beauty in a mirrored dress, Abraham and Isaac, a family of refugees, a fool – more and more people, the bizarre and the humdrum, fleetingly connected by proximity alone.
