The October Revolutions

Work:: The October Revolutions (S01241284779)

Fogeyish scriptwriter Philip and eager, young art student Kath hover frustratingly in that awkward region somewhere between friendship and love. He is twenty-nine going on forty, and she a nineteen-year-old with far more experience and wisdom than her years. Over the course of three meetings in three parks over three Octobers, they jockey, vie, scheme and battle for position, with comical, and sometimes brutal, results. Can the romantic setting of the Blue Peter Italian Garden bring the outcome Philip so ardently desires? Or will his hopes remain sunken? The October Revolutions is a touching, hilarious and often cringe-inducing portrayal of just how rubbish humans can be in the pursuit of love. It is also a unique experiment in theatre; each night the three scenes are played in a different order - in a process of continual revolution - giving up to six versions of the play.
