| Bush Theatre performing 'Islands' |
First Thoughts on the Scene:
The play that I was assigned to perform is called Islands, written by Caroline Horton. After having a group read through we all felt a little stressed as we all disliked the scene, and couldn't pin point any ideas on how to perform it. The scene using language that is created in a fantasy world - Shitworld.
We brainstormed ideas but couldn't settle on how to stage and perform it. We also didn't know how to cut the scene as the scene made no sense. We're all going to read the play to try and make some sense of whats going on as it's so barbaric.
The biggest theme in the play is tax evasion, and the greed of the wealthy who live luxurious lives whilst others suffer. Caroline Horton is an Olivier Award winning playwright based in Birmingham. Her other plays include, You're Not Like Other Girls Chrissy and Mess.
"Islands is an ink black comedy about tax havens, enormous greed, and the few who have it all."
