Synopsis: | A play about the 1984 Coal Strike: the unions, managers, miners, their wives, police, media, government - looking at the changing behaviour of the main protagonists over the first nine months. Played out as a chess game, each piece can only make set moves. There are two sides, and each moves in turn, strictly according to the rules. Strictly, that is, to begin with. . .. | |||||

Synopsis: | The body defines our worlds. Constantly changing, it sparks attractions, love, estrangements, need. From it come our dreams. Within it lies the future. Yet always we inhabit its past. People are talking. Each voice distinct, unique. But as these accumulate, patterns emerge - connecting, shaping. Self-images are in time-lag. Desire is bang up to date. And there's nowhere to hide. The text is part-written, part-edited, from the writer's experiences and conversations since a spinal injury - first as hospital patient, and then throughout the period of recovery and adjustment. It interweaves testimonies from fellow patients with those of the performers, juxtaposing what is normal and expected with the shocks of sudden loss, to better understand both. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Four old men talk. A politician. A scientist. An artist. And a doctor. Their unique and particular voices tell of deeply private agonies, obsessions and escapades. But, as these random monologues spill out, they become increasingly interconnected - until a universal, identikit portrait emerges. A portrait of the nature of power. Based on a series of interviews with world leaders (an architect of the atom bomb, a politician central to Middle East peace, an artist whose work outrages 127 countries, a gatekeeper of medical orthodoxy. . ..) - this new work explores how we've got to where we are now, through the hearts and minds of four men who have shaped our lives. | |||||
