Mark Ravenhill in New Mark Ravenhill play, Product
Mark Ravenhill stars in his own new play, Product, directed by Lucy Morrison. [At Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre from 17-28 August (not 22). Box office 0131 228 1404]
This should be intriguing.
Mark is playing in his own play. Trained as an actor and director before settling on writing, it will be interesting to see how the play comes off.
Here’s the press blurb:
Amy is a hot young starlet. Now all she needs is the script which will save her from B movie hell. A script which balances artistic integrity with blockbuster bucks. Mark thinks he’s got the perfect pitch – a script which combines a torrid love story with the dark spectre of terrorism and big, big explosions. If he can only persuade Amy, he’s got the perfect Product.
Mark Ravenhill is one of the most successful and respected writers of his generation. He burst onto the scene in 1996 with his smash-hit debut Shopping and Fucking which opened at the Royal Court, quickly transferred to the West End and has since been produced all over the world. He followed this with a series of further successes including Faust Is Dead, Handbag, Some Explicit Polaroids and Mother Claps Molly House. This is his professional acting debut.
