The Bridge

Work:: The Bridge (S1152436101)

A remarkable story traced back through family memories, piecing together the short life and lost work of poet and author PM John, from Kerala India, shortly before Independence. Defying convention and poverty to realise his dreams, the fortunes of his family were shaped. Stories of courage and survival are uncovered, and charts his family's later journey to the west. Travelling back from present day, The Bridge considers how our histories are told, and who tells them, and the silences in between which gives rise to myth or invention. A poetic, political and poignant solo play, exploring identity, belonging and the power of the pen.
