- The Low Hundreds [ 2003]
author: Gary Owen
synopsis:
The Low Hundreds is the first part of a new play which will ultimately be about a bloke who's feeling a bit under the weather, a woman who's struggling to sustain her customer base, and a scientist who can't quite believe her results. The piece as a whole is inspired by Stanley Milgram's book Obedience to Authority and the experiments it describes (see for example http://www.cll.wayne.edu/isp/mnissani/WWI/obedienc.htm ). The Low Hundreds will also be Gary's first attempt at directing his own work. And possibly his last. Gary's plays so far are Crazy Gary's Mobile Disco, which won the inaugural Theatre in Wales new writing award; The Shadow of a Boy, which won half of the 2002 George Devine Award; The Drowned World, which won half the 2002 Pearson Best Play Award and an entire Fringe First; and (in Welsh) Amser Canser, which won friends.
