Serial day dreamer, Roy Bletchley, finds himself odd-man-out at his multi-racial Mile End comprehensive, where he feels persecuted by an officious Citizenship Studies teacher and mocked by his class-mates, whilst at home, his self-confidence is even further undermined by a dysfunctional father, Dean, uttering doom-laden warnings about hereditary mental illness. So Roy withdraws into a fantasy world where he is by turns 'Zac', Director of Social Services in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, and 'Orac', warrior-king of Skara Brae, the Neolithic settlement on Orkney. Hope, however, seems to arrive in the form of Louise McCormack, folklorist fellow pupil who confides in Roy that her dearest wish is to return to the Selkie-folk, or Seal People, from whom, she claims, the McCormacks are descended. Together, Roy and Louise plan to pursue their dreams and escape to Skara Brae . . .T622320173Performer Peter Hamilton. | |
