Synopsis: | Condemned by the mother of Jamie Bulger and acclaimed by the critics - for tackling the subject of child killers - this is the controversial new play from the winner of the Sunday Times Playwriting Prize 2001. Few kids have a secret as chilling as Timmy's. Stephanie loves Raquel to death. Acutely topical, darkly satirical and brutally uncompromising - these two monologues explore the shattering of childhood innocence. "The play opens up a moral minefield. Who can, or should, consent to what? Can anyone consent to something on the behalf of another? What power can anyone, a person or a community, have over the mind and life of another? Morris's play sends you out in a state of moral turbulence." (John Peter, Sunday Times) | |||||

Synopsis: | "Setting The Yeomen of the Guard score to new lyrics, Peter Morris has created a political satire based on the premise that Sir Oswald Mosley became prime minister in 1936. The result is a topsy-turvy view of British history that is as intellectually flawed as it is impressively executed. The problem with an anti-fascist musical is that form and content don't match. While it is possible to swallow Morris's premise that a Mosley premiership would have led to the execution of Virginia Woolf and the imprisonment of TE Lawrence, there comes a point when the smile freezes on one's lips: for me that is reached when Mosley sets up the Swansea Conference, clearly based on the Wannsee Conference which authorised Nazi genocide. Morris implies that the anti-semitism which poisoned British 1930s life is still active today. But the musical form gives a sheen to the fascism he deplores. And, although Morris claims to find in Sullivan's music a portentous nationalism, what I hear is a rippling melodic invention. Only in the transformation of "I have a song to sing-o" into a defiantly working-class anthem does the ironic contrast between music and lyrics pay off. ", Guardian | |||||
