Synopsis: | A man strives to return home, in search of his past, hopeful of his future, and longing for those he left behind. As his journey unfolds, he finds his path repeatedly blocked and his identity endlessly questioned. His luggage and his status are lost as borders are crossed, languages confused, and modes of travel conspire to thwart him. Will he ever reach his destination? ...will his luggage? ...and will his identity arrive with him? Informed by contemporary stories of migration and repatriation, The Man with the Luggage explores our relationship with home, with nationality, and with authority. It also delves into our dependence on travel and the multitude of obstacles that await us on our journeys through stations, through ports, and through life. | |||||

Notes: | play by Esther Wilson,John Fay, Tony Green and Lizzie Nunnery | |||||
Synopsis: | Unprotected explores the recent developments in Liverpool that surround the sex trade industry through a documentary-style theatrical piece. Esther Wilson, John Fay, Tony Green and Lizzie Nunnery embrace the diverse opinions from many of those involved in Liverpool's proposed legal zones for prostitutes. Based on over one thousand interviews with residents, sex workers, politicians, police and clients of the industry, this format allowed the writers the inside knowledge to create a dynamic and insightful drama. Against this background, transcripts sent in to the writers allowed a compelling and brutally honest tale to unfold. Unprotected is an undeniably forceful play that captures the true essence of issues that surround the real lives of those involved in the very relevant sex trade debate, and its effects on the community as a whole. | |||||

| Parts: | Male | - | Female | - | ||
Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | A collaborative project comprising Lindsay Rodden, playwright/dramaturg, Martin Heslop, composer and Julia Heslop, visual artist | |||||
Synopsis: | The piece tells the story of border crossings, journeys rooted in the real world, in history, yet also traversing a psychological landscape. Three suitcases hold a beginning, a middle and an end, but through visual, musical and textual language, channelling multilingual voices, the story takes on another dimension, across time. The plurality of cultural identity, the evolving nature of language, the movement of people, the transmigration of religion and culture, back and forth: this journey across borders is tidal. Just as a suitcase opens to reveal a whole world, this process of uncovering, literal and metaphorical, is explored. It is a process of discovery for the audience, literally moving between the three scenes, taking a journey of their own. Each audience member will take a postcard away with them, a fragmentary multilingual document containing a hidden history. | |||||
