Plains

Synopsis:
The Remote Fiction Theatre, in co-production with Riverlea Theatre, presents Plains, being staged as a part of the 2013 Hamilton Fringe Festival. A play by New Zealand author Harry Meech, that won the 2008 Playmarket New Zealand Young Playwright's Award and has since been developed to its completed form with the assistance of expert dramaturgs. Plains is a Post-Apocalyptic comedy, funniest when it isn't, and darkest when it is; equal parts Beckett and Monty Python. Plains is a play that deals with the end of everything, in that wry, distinctly New Zealand way, with a warped smile and a chuckle. StylisticallyPlains is unflinchingly Absurdist, and its dialogue and characters reflect this. Seven characters pepper the narrative with tiny interactions, moments of absurd significance in the face of their certain finality. Satchel, Lilly, Stripes, Dana, Cherry, Hornby ... and God. Sort of. Maybe. In staging our performance we have sought to acknowledge the fundamental point of difference between a film and a theatrical experience - that the actor and the audience share a space. At the Remote Fiction Theatre we have adopted the attitude that our audience not only enjoy and watch our performances but are themselves a fundamental part of the overall experience. This establishes a deformalised theatrical space, where the audience are invited to enjoy the fact of their own presence, encouraging the social aspect of live performance. The Remote Fiction Theatre is a company founded on the principles of continual actor development and training. Primarily this is achieved through a disciplined system of Dynamic Conditioning, developed initially by Plains Director Nick Sturgess-Monks, as an element of research for an MA in Directing for Theatre at the University of Waikato. This system targets actors at the pre-expressive level, to extend their potential field of movement, and range within it. After the actors are familiar with individual body work, this is extended to the voice and to the ensemble. Our actors take part in two months of intensive physical, vocal and ensemble conditioning prior to dealing with scripts. This conditioning is then continued throughout the rehearsal process, though at a far less intensive level. Our actors have been preparing for Plains for approximately seven months. - http://www.theatreview.org.nz/reviews/production.php?id=3458
