Synopsis: | Written, Directed and Performed by Pauline Goldsmith, Bright Colours Only is a once-in-a-lifetime theatrical event that exhumes the death industry and resurrects the dying wake tradition. An uplifting interactive experience, it celebrates the struggle to be ourselves in our life and in our death. The performance takes place in a virtual living room with domestic images of Belfast projected onto suspended screens and interspersed with digital animation by visual artist Mandy McIntosh. In a room packed with hilarious and heartfelt memories of a Belfast childhood, the audience is offered tea and sandwiches, as well as a drop of the hard stuff. At the culmination of the event the audience departs following four pallbearers, a coffin and Pauline herself in a moving, but ultimately uplifting funeral cortege. This event is only suitable for people who are dying to live. | |||||

Notes: | part of "I Confess" a series of monologues. These monologues reflect a growing interest in the theme of confession and the subject of other people's lives in contemporary drama and television, including the so-called reality' shows which abound in today's programme schedules. In a live context the experience of direct one to one contact can be alarming and exhilarating by turns. Funny, moving, disturbing and challenging, these monologues will be of interest to actors in search of an audition piece as well as directors on the lookout for a new and highly flexible way of making theatre. | |||||
