DEADLIER THAN THE MALE
|
Michael Kelligan presents the second script-held performance in his season of all female playwrights and directors.
GRYFHEAD
By Lucy Gough
First Boccacio, then John Keats and now Lucy Gough celebrate the determined love of Isabella. In this fast-moving, poetic comedy reality is questioned, imagination is declared dangerous. Her jealous, banana-cake making brother strives to stop her winning the man she loves but even his knife cannot thwart her, though in her battle for life and love success arrives in a very unexpected manner.
With Katy Owen, Robert Harper, James Ashton and Alastair Sill and introducing exciting new director Sita Calvert-Ennals
Lucy Gough has been writing plays since 1986. She was a finalist for both the John Whiting Award and BBC Wales Writer of the Year Award (1994) with her play Crossing The Bar. Her first BBC broadcast was in 1994 with Our Lady of Shadows (BBC Radio 3). Since then she has had a play of the week on the BBC World Service and has had five plays on BBC Radio 4; Gryfhead, The Red Room, The Mermaids Tail and Judith Beheading Holofernes and The Raft. Her Radio dramatisation of Wuthering Heights for BBC Radio 4 was broadcast as the classic serial in Woman's Hour in July 2003. Mapping the Soul was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in July 2005.
