Made in Hackney - Cul De Sac/Gloucestershire/People are Stupid

Made in Hackney

Work:: Made in Hackney (S1045466872)

Each weekend will feature three plays by three of Hackney's best playwrights. These complete, short works are the culmination of the Arcola Writers' Group workshops, and are dedicated to honing the talents of writers from a range of backgrounds and abilities.

Production:: Cul De Sac/Gloucestershire/People are Stupid (T01782817148)

Cul De Sac - Some things are not said, because we don't know what to say; others because we don't know how to. But said they must be. Gloucestershire - In 1932, the poet and musician Ivor Gurney languished in a mental asylum in Dartford, almost ruined by shell shock, with only the imaginary Ludwig van Beethoven for company. Then Helen Thomas came to visit with her well-thumbed maps of Gloucestershire. A tender tale about the byways of madness, loss and love. People Are Stupid - With an election looming and crime figures on the rise, the Prime Minister decides it's time to throw conventional politics out the window. But will the man chosen to implement his revolutionary new strategy be able to leave his ideals behind and embrace a new world where the truth doesn't matter?
Author Ece Ozdemiroglu (Cul De Sac)
Director Sandra Theresa Buch (Cul De Sac)
Author Benjamin Davis (Gloucestershire)
Director Bruce Guthrie (Gloucestershire)
Author Charlie Miller (People are Stupid)
Director Gemma Fairlie (People are Stupid)
