Bilkent Theater is proud to present Sam Shepard’s Action as its second Senior Project in 2017-18.
Action takes the audience right “into the living room of a post-apocalyptic holiday”. Lupe (Melisa Berberoğlu), Liza (Naz Göktan), Jeep (Ahmet Kılıç) and Shooter (Berk Cem Göksel) are trapped in a cold, isolated cabin after a mysterious “crisis.” They are struggling to pull off a holiday meal. Limited food, an uncertain future and overwhelming boredom begin to take their toll with disturbing and absurd results.
Tackling the issues of downfall of civilization with captivity, fear and sudden release, the Obie-Award winning 1974 play Action is one of the most abstract, yet physical plays of the American playwright Sam Shepard.
Translated into Turkish by senior student Melisa Berberoğlu and classmates, Action/Devinim is directed by the award-winning director Jason Hale of Bilkent Theater Department as the final senior project for the graduating year of 2018.
