One Night In the Power IndustryOne Night In the Power Industry
Synopsis:
It is set in the 70's somewhere under the stadium when aston Villa are hosting a friendly match against Santos of argentina with that great footballer Pele in the visiting team. the problem is that this is at the time of the miner's strike. there are power cuts and no electricity to run the stadium lights. Somehow the Villa have got hold of a generator and three men are responsible for keeping it going so that the match can take place. One of them is desperate to see the match. One of them is a revolutionary firebrand (vocally at least) and one is a gentle easy-going dreamer doing it to boost his saving towards a trip to bathe in the waters of the Ganges. We only got the first couple of dozen pages so again it was impossible to know where this play was going but it certainly displayed a writer with a gift for realistic vernacular speech, a keen sense of comedy and an ability to create strong characters, given flesh and blood by Lee Colley, Jonathan Oliver and Paul Prescott in Ted Craig's lively production. Is there a lively political satire here? these extracts from plays may be effective in rousing interest that could lead to full productions but they are also very frustrating when you want to know what happens!
