In Basildon

In Basildon
People always get the wrong idea about essex don't the Len's on his death bed and the family gather to say their final farewells. His sisters still aren't speaking after nearly 20 years, his nephew's trying for a baby - and a bigger house, while his best mate Ken remembers Bas-vegas' when it was a village. as the spread is laid out and the ham sandwiches sit next to the wreaths, it's hard to see who's hungry and who's just greedy. In Basildon is full of explosive family dynamics and knotty relationships, embracing history, emotion and a strong sense of homeland. This depiction of indigenous essex dwellers is uncompromising and at times harsh, but eldridge also elicits deep sympathy for his characters as they face death, grief and crumbling familial bonds. the play is an epic family Drama exploring inheritance and the myth of place.

Knot Of the Heart, The

Knot Of the Heart, The
Why has this happened to us? Things like this don't happen to families like ours. Beautiful and privileged, Lucy is enjoying a burgeoning career in television. But her social drug habit has become a serious addiction, casting a dark shadow over her future happiness. as her charmed life begins to slip away Lucy comes to realise that the devoted support of her family does not come without a price.With themes of love, family and addiction, the Knot of the Heart explores the creeping onset of self-destruction beneath a veneer of respectability. Full of David eldridge's trademark lyricism within everyday family life and interaction, this is a play where emotions are high and relationships are sensitively written. Ultimately hopeful and redemptive, the Knot of the Heart is atmosphEric and poetic without undermining the all-too-believable characters' realism.

Lady From the Sea

Lady From the Sea
ellida, the Lighthouse Keeper's daughter, is homesick for the sea. Her life with her husband Dr Wangel and his daughters leaves her restless. then, on a hot, brilliantly clear summer morning life changes. . .ellida Wangel's mysterious seafaring lover has returned after many years to reclaim the woman to whom he believed himself to be betrothed. With piercing eyes he exerts a mesmerising hold over all whom he encounters. Yet, he is a man with a past, a murderer, a man of the sea. What is ellida to do? Whom should she choose? the husband who loves her and is prepared to grant her freedom or the enigmatic man with whom she shares the same watery affinity. a man who holds a 'horrible unfathomable power' over her mind. Yet ellida's mind is like the sea, it ebbs and flows and finally reaches its own firm conclusion. the Lady from the Sea (1888) represents an important turning point in Ibsen's work. Within a few days of its publication edmund Gosse wrote 'there is thrown over the whole play a glamour of romance, of mystery, of landscape beauty. . .moreover, after so many tragedies, this is a comedy. . .the tone is quite unusually sunny, and without a tinge of pessimism.' This play explores the hypnotic hold one person may gain over another. It is an emphatic defence of individuality, of inner struggles faced with courage and integrity.

Market Boy

Market Boy
Set in the late 1980s the play uses Romford market in London to examine a period in hich Margaret Thatcher wrecked coal mining and flogged off our state-owned industries, paving the way for the fat-cat culture of today. a teenage lad gets a job on a shoe stall and soon finds sex, drugs and rock'n'roll at his feet. Market life teems around him in which a vast cast of 31 play an even vaster list of characters. Stallholders, flypitchers, a meat salesman, a transvestitie, a local Labour candidate and, naturally, Mrs T herself all turn up as the plot freewheels between the hero's erratic progress towards manhood and the effect on the market of a stuttering economy and dubious values.

Miss Julie

Miss Julie
Written in a fortnight and often regarded as Strindberg's masterpiece, Miss Julie is shocking in subject-matter, revolutionary in technique, and was fiercely attacked on publication for immorality. Sweden, 1894. Midsummer night's celebrations are in full swing but the Count's daughter, the beautiful and imperious Miss Julie, feels trapped and alone. Downstairs in the servants' kitchen, handsome and rebellious footman Jean is feeling restless. When they meet a passion is ignited that soon spirals out of control. Strindberg's masterpiece caused a scandal when first produced - and has been hugely popular ever since - for its viscerally honest portrait of the class system and human sexuality. the conflict between sexual passion and social position is presented in Miss Julie with startling modernity. the play's premiere at Strindberg's experimental theatre in Denmark in 1889 was banned by the censor and its first public production three years later in Berlin aroused such protests that it was withdrawn after one performance. Miss Julie has since become one of Strindberg's most popular and frequently performed plays. This new version by highly-acclaimed playwright and translator David eldridge is contemporary but faithful, and combines accessibility with fluency.

Something, Someone, Somewhere

Something, Someone, Somewhere
the King James Version of the Bible (KJV) is a foundation stone of the english language. the KJV was composed as a collective project and written to be spoken. Sixty-Six Books has been created, in the spirit of the original, in the same way. Pulpit to print; stage to page; mediated through many forms oral and written, the KJV has, since its inception, been a fundamental part of written and spoken english.This is a work that has travelled to every continent of the globe. It has been shared as a melodic instrument of inspiration, illumination and mutual understanding; and it has also been wielded as a tool of colonial oppression. Sixty-Six Books is a fresh interpretation of the KJV for the new millennium, celebrating and challenging the traditions and achievements of this great work on the occasion of its 400th anniversary. the curators of this project have gathered together a formidable and inspiring line-up of the best established and emerging writing talent to produce a new version of the KJV for thetwenty-first century. each writer has created anew a book of the KJV - as prose, poetry, Drama, performance, song, or ground-breaking digital form. each writer has spoken back to the KJV with untrammeled inventiveness of the imagination. the voices of Sixty-Six Books, drawn from across five continents, innovate, transmute, transpose, reinvent and talk back to four hundredyears of history. all the works that make up Sixty-Six Books are written to be spoken. Culminating in major performance events at the Bush theatre and Westminster abbey in 2011 in London, Sixty-Six Books is a contribution towards the mutual curiosity, tolerance, and force of collective enterprise and shared humanity that characterizes the international and ancient Arts of writing and spoken performance

Thousand Stars Explode In the Sky, A

Thousand Stars Explode In the Sky, A
On a farm in the North east of england a family gathers. Five brothers and four generations feature in an epic play about hope, love, fear and the very end of time. a Thousand Stars explode in the Sky is a refreshingly subtle and compassionate vision of the world on the edge of apocalypse. Within a cosmological context, the focus is on a single family, their relations with each other and their unreconciled regrets, soon to become permanent. With an ensemble of strong, engaging characters, there are knotty, realistic family dynamics and a palimpsest of recent family history. the characters and dialogue are naturalistic but the serious themes are elucidated and alleviated with humour and quirky, surreal touches. the play represents a unique collboration between three of the UK's pre-eminent stage writers. the ambition of the partnership is matched by the ambition of the play's sweeping scope. Whilst the three voices collide, they also ring out individually without sacrificing the piece's coherent wholeness, and the play represents a rare, fascinating study in stage collaboration.
