Thoughtful articles

Independent’s Paul Taylor on the Royal Court.

David Hare is quoted:
“a place of intense contradiction. A writers’ theatre whilst plays are chosen at the whim of directors; a political theatre which has often violently eschewed politics; a theatre which once had the strongest aesthetic of any in the country which nobody could define – except by what it wasn’t; and a theatre with a genuine sense of family, so long as your idea of family includes dysfunctional.

The David Harrower play Blackbird heads for the West End – again the Indy interviews

Knives in Hens by Harrower is one of my favourite modern plays. It is “modern” but some how timeless and “old” too.

“Blackbird is the story of a 41-year-old man who had a sexual relationship with a 12-year-old girl and their subsequent meeting 15 years after they ran away together.”
