Once upon a time, in Swanage
on the remote
Isle of Purbeck a drama group was
created in order to perform
Metis and Enkelados,
a play by Llanit Marasz.
​
Later that year, A&B Drama
were conceived in 2015,
with the first
Evenings of Conceptual Absurdity
.
​
The concept moved to London in 2018
calling themselves A&B drama club,
performing that year in October
and February/March 2019
at the Finchley Youth Theatre
​
​
​
​
​
...but after that, in spring 2019 we had to announce the following
BREAKING NEWS:
​
AB Drama Club forced to leave the UK and return to Europe
​
After many years of prosperous and preposterous absurdity shows we had to
LEAVE the UK for some very obvious reasons.
​
For a long time the UK was a brilliant place for ABSURDITY in the arts. But in the last years something shifted... ABSURDITY was slowly leaving the cultural world, creeping into British politics. With Absurdity Boris becoming PM the shift was completed. With parts of Britain LEAVING EUROPE, the ABSURD ARTS have lost their momentum... Now, you will find the flair, the flavour and the phenomenon of pure ABSURDITY (without any reason but ABSURDITY) nowhere better embedded and incarnated than in Absurdity Boris. For this reason AB Drama Club have left London on the very day King Boris became PM of the so called United Kingdom.
We raise our hat to King Boris, the best British actor of this millennium... and the worst*British politician ever...
​
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
​
PS: * ...second worst after Truss
Hence, we moved to Germany, Europe...
but due to COVID there were no shows in 2020 and 2021.
​
Yes, we were gone.
But now we are back!
​
In summer 2022 we had our first shows in Swanage, one of the true cultural hubs in Britain apart from London, Edinburgh and stuff...
​
And as the best ever absurd actor has left his Downing Street stage, it's due time for us revigorate the ABSURIDITY in the UK...
