Stormin' Jack Norman

Synopsis:
It's almost 2004 and the world is a frightening place. Or so we're told. Fear circumscribes our lives, controls us and contains us, provokes us into fight or flight or leaves us paralysed with terror. . .and just occasionally sets us free. Observant, humane, and often amusing, these rehearsed readings come from a rich blend of emerging and established female playwrights who have set out to fearlessly articulate, debate, and celebrate an emotion that so powerfully affects us all.

Notes:
part of Fear and Loathing in King's Road by Clare Bayley, Marta Emmitt, Rosy Fordham, Elizabeth Lewis, Barbara Norden, llian Plowman and Polly Wiseman
