It was developed as part of the National Theatre Shell Connections 2005 Programme. A famous artist invites her old friends out to her luxurious new home and, for one night only, the group is back together. However, celebrations come to an abrupt end when the host suffers an horrific accident.As the victim lies in a coma, an almost unthinkable plan starts to take shape: could her suffering be their next work of art? The group is ecstatic in its new found project until things slip out of their control and, to the surprise of all, the patient awakes .pool (no water) is a visceral and shocking new play about the fragility of friendship and the jealousy and resentment inspired by success.Citizenship is a bittersweet comedy about growing up, following a boy's frank and messy search to discover his sexual identity
Edward Hintze said A Brilliant and macabre challange for a troop to perform, and an interesting read even when not performed. I have a deep affection for this play, having been in a production of it some time ago now. What is extraordinary about this piece is how it tackles the jealousy and malice that can be harboured in a small community - regardless of espoused liberal values. And yet, it's formatting as a play - paragraphs, and no easily defined v. "Ugh." according to caliboy.
