Notes: | part of "Decade" by Amy Rosenthal, Beth Steel, Nimer Rashed, David Eldridge, Lou Ramsden, Fraser Grace, April de Angelis, Richard Marsh, Phil Porter and Rex Obano. Much has changed in the world since our current millennium dawned in 2000. Theatre503 presents ten short plays by ten different playwrights, each encompassing a year of the so-called noughties and encourages the audience to reflect over the past decade whilst taking in a great evening of theatre. | |||||
Synopsis: | Rex Obano's 2009 concludes the evening with BNP councillor Nigel asking for a "Big hand for Nick Griffin", which leaves a weary audience nervously contemplating whether to clap in support, having assumed the role of Nigel's audience in the mock BNP meeting, or to abandon this frame and praise the performers | |||||

Synopsis: | Marley's not been answering his phone. So Ayley decides to let herself into his flat. She's got something important to tell him. But Marley has got other plans. He wants to make a new life for himself, away from crime and the estate, fighting for his country. Yet Marley's left his phone in the flat, and it keeps ringing. Who is Collins and what does he want? Ayley answers the phone. As a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil and causes a tsunami in Korea, every phone call has a consequence. One hour later, Marley's out cold, and Collins and Ayley come face to face. Now he wants something from both of them. Following the success of last year's All the little things we crushed by Joel Horwood, Almeida Projects present another new play commissioned for a young audience, in response to the Almeida Theatre's production of Ruined by Lynn Nottage. The Door Never Closes follows two young people at crucial points of change in their lives, navigating their path through a world in which technology determines their personal relationships. The play gives students a creative opportunity to engage with the issues of choice and personal responsibility across the curriculum, particularly within drama, English and citizenship. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Theatre503 present a series of short plays which riff on the theme of "Coalition" - both in that they are all products of collaborations between playwrights and artists of other disciplines, and in that they all address in one way or another the new age of coalition government in which we find ourselves. You might say that a theatrical exploration of the current political situation could have come a little sooner; but coinciding as it does with the student riots and the general reaction to the October cuts, this project feels incredibly vital. There are ten pieces of work, split into a Blue Group and a Yellow Group (for Tories and Lib Dems, of course), which perform on alternate nights. | |||||

Synopsis: | When you enter a cell on the C.S.U. you don't always know what you'll find. HMP Wandsworth, London, January 2010. 1665 prisoners. Rising star prison officer Chris Jackson knows nothing is simply black or white. His superiors don't trust him, the prisoners suspect him and his girlfriend is being stalked. But after a sudden promotion, he needs to be even more careful. Confronted by Paul 'Jenks' Jenkins, an inmate whose fingers reach far beyond the prison walls, the two men begin a fight for survival on opposite sides of an indifferent system which makes a slave of everyone. Rex Obano's play is an unflinching portrait of prison life on both sides of the bars. | |||||
