Details

Five new monologues. Each monologue has been written by Ideas Tap prize winners and their works begin the I Clean For England anthology. Each one offers a dark, sometimes comic, take on the 21st century so far. The production has been created in collaboration with Mind: The Mental Health Charity. Hole - Josh is alone. The whole world is against him. Only Steve understands. Sit with Steve and listen as one man unburdens his woes. The 7-11 Butterfly Effect - A teacher in the distant future tells their young students about the dark days of the early 21st century, a time shrouded in myth. Fat - A lone woman sits in a Tesco's car park whilst contemplating her favourite foods, sexual predilections and a super sized coffin. Three Sides of a Fence - An old man, a young Arab and a Hassidic Jew all reveal their side of one painful, historic story. Universally Speaking - Watch as one man's grim reality is played out in three different ways. A dark take on celebrity and crime.
