Dead Dreams of Monochrome Men

Synopsis

This visually stunning and emotionally raw piece of dance theatre was conceived with reference to the notorious Dennis Nilsen’s murders of homeless London teenagers. It is a passionately sympathetic look at loneliness, at the terrible consequences of lust imagined as love and trust turned to vicious sexual torment. Created by Lloyd Newson, Nigel Charnock, Russell Maliphant and Douglas Wright, who perform in this film version, it was specially reworked for the cameras, losing none of its hard-hitting intensity. (Music by Sally Herbert)
