Sinossi

'A nation that devours another will one day devour itself.'
Set when the Great Devouring comes home, England & Son is a kaleidoscopic odyssey, where disaster capitalism, empire, Thatcherite politics, stolen youth and stolen wealth merge into the tale of a working-class boy who just wants his dad to smile at him.
With some deep, dark laughs – and some deep, dark love – England & Son is a one-man play by Ed Edwards, first performed by the celebrated political comedian Mark Thomas.
It was first produced by HOME Manchester and Tin Cat Entertainment, and premiered in Paines Plough's Roundabout during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, directed by Cressida Brown, where it won a Fringe First Award. It went on to win the New Writing Award at the OffFest Theatre Festival Awards in 2024.
This edition also features an illuminating essay by the author, 'Writing the End of Empire'.
Disponibile da: 10/08/2023.

    The narrative is about Lewis L. McKinsey a wealthy businessman who reminisces of his past. Initially, the saga describes business reality. Then later deliberately unfolds into encumbered details reminiscing of the protagonist coming of age; by exploring varied vibrant, profound glimpses of exuberant youthful experiences, especially, when visiting the Jersey Shore, which occurred long before his college days, and successful career apparatus. Imagine the beauty of the New Jersey seashore, back in the fifties, which some may remember; considering that many old-timers today would resonate with hearing an old song while walking the boardwalk at the New Jersey Shore, and that song was “Those Wildwood days” by Bobby Rydell. Lewis surmised that even today that memorable song is still being played; however, back in the day, the melody seemed to have held more reverence. In those days hanging out with his friends and consuming cases of Cold Duck, provides somewhat of a lens into their rebellious ways, and meeting wayward women; whom they thought was the greatest thing since sliced bread. 
    The intentional purpose of this narrative is to provide an absorbing whimsical tale of a wealthy man who deliberately reflects on humbler times. This may be considered somewhat of a rags-to-riches saga. Witness how Lewis derives his obvious present conclusion while illustrating how he arrived at being a Wall Street contender. 
      
    This exposition entails elements of love, unavoidable challenges; and graceful benevolent experiences which contributed to an enhanced life well lived on purpose

    Ivy has life sorted; she's got a flat, a boyfriend and she knows exactly where it's all headed. Except there is this thing that she tries not to think about. The thing she left in her childhood bedroom.
    Ash is having the time of her life. Fresh from leaving a bad relationship, she's got no idea what's next. But there's something about her new flat. The wallpaper pulses and sometimes it sounds like a heartbeat.
    Two women. A chance meeting. Giddy kisses they never should have shared. Eleanor Tindall's play Tender is the story of two people who find each other without even knowing they were looking. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Emily Aboud and produced by Broccoli Arts and Jessie Anand Productions.
