From Britain’s most challenging dramatist, the brilliant Edward Bond, comes a sharply cautionary futuristic parable. It is the year 2077 and a new order is in power. In this post-apocalyptic landscape, human behavior is strictly monitored and memories are forbidden; family ties have been abolished; whole cities have been relocated. A stranger appears on a couple’s doorstep claiming to be the woman’s brother. His very existence threatens the stability of the entire system, and they must decide how to rid themselves of the danger that his memories bring. What follows is tragic and absurdly funny, until both seem to melt into a strange, hallucinatory vision of what’s to come.
This site-specific production is performed on Captain John’s Harbour Boat at Captain John’s Pier. The audience meets in The Captain’s Quarters.
Directed by Lary Zappia; starring Dusan Dukic, Martin Julien and Dragana Varagic.
