Still
Written by Rosalind Haslett Directed by Jim Culleton
Dublin, Summer 2002. Rents are high and traffic is heavy. A chance encounter sets off a game of emotional deception and manipulated identities.
Grace needs Wendy. Wendy wants Jackson. Jackson doesn’t know who he is.
Still is the winning entry from Fishamble’s new play competition, in association with Temple Bar Properties, to create a new site-specific theatre piece as part of ‘Diversions’, a summer-long festival of free outdoor cultural events. Incorporating live performance, projected images and original soundscape, Still is a quirky exploration of discontent, photography and fruit machines.
Reviews
-
‘The whole is greatly enlivened by Jim Culleton’s direction, which uses voice animation, animated slides, film clips and occasional shifts from the large stage to peripheral locations on the square’
Irish Times -
‘A playful, witty and insightful reflection…Haslett’s writing is very original and daring…a very remarkable play ’
