Synopsis: | It's the night before the election and Gordon Brown can't sleep. Tomorrow he will go before the public to finally claim victory or accept defeat. In a fitful night of dreams and memories he casts his mind across a political career that spans two decades at the top. Does he deserve to win? What's at stake if he loses? But most important, what is there left to say? Gordon Brown: A Life in Theatre will be a "freewheeling exploration of contemporary politics from inside the fractured mind of a Prime Minister on verge of an electoral breakdown." The script will be written during election week to capture the immediacy and excitement of the election and the unfolding events of the week. The play will then be performed as staged readings on 6 May itself. Eight Scottish playwrights will work together to produce the finished play which will be directed by one of the playwrights, David Greig. Joining Greig will be Rona Munro, Peter Arnot, Vicki Liddelle, Gabriel Quigley, Andy Duffy, Alan Wilkins and David Ireland. Speaking about the project, Traverse Theatre Artistic Director Dominic Hill, said, "Scottish theatre has a tradition of responding through theatre to events in the political world. Gordon Brown himself was a Board member of the famous political theatre company 7:84 which created, amongst others, the masterpiece The Cheviot, The Stag and the Black Black Oil. I've always wanted the Traverse to sit within the immediate cultural and political life of the nation. All theatre is political in that it is about and affects us, the way we live our lives, our position in society and the world." The performances will take place at the Traverse at lunchtime on election day, and again on election night, where the Traverse Bar Cafe will screen the election results throughout. | |||||
