Synopsis: | This is part of Clubbed Thumb's annual Summerworks Festival. Faced with the task of cleaning out their dead step-father's stuff from their crumbling childhood home, Alice, Kathy, and Stig and their Iraq war vet friend, Toby, gather one last time and grapple with a haunted van, Albert Einstein's chalk, and a shed full of repressed family memories. Our Lot is an homage to America's need for "collections." | |||||

Notes: | It subsequently toured the East Coast, which included a performance at Alice's Fourth Floor for Artistic Associate Melanie Joseph, who later remounted the play as part of her launch of the very successful Foundry Theatre Company. Midwest Center, a company I was President of, co-produced the Foundry's first show, W. David Hancock's Convention of Cartography ) (http://www.ristentltd.com/professional/cart.html), which garnered an Obie that year for best new play. | |||||
Synopsis: | The ingenious conceit behind this play by American writer David Hancock is that it is never the same performance twice. The playing area is done up like a flea market, and a sloppily lettered sign announces: "Lecture by Mr P Foster to start at 1.10pm." The solo actor, David Heap, has an open, childlike manner, but quickly explains why: he is a former foster child who has suffered permanent memory loss because of drugs he took to control his temper. Audience members pull bits of junk out of a toy camper van proffered by Foster - his "story ark" - and he tells us about the artifacts, aided by decrepit cue cards. These were passed down, Foster tell us, from his foster father, Homer Phinney. The audience slowly realise that Phinney is partly present on stage: by changing his vocal register, Heap switches back and forth between the father's and the son's accounts of past events. | |||||
