Bunny (NHB Modern Plays)

Product Information

The premise is simple and engrossing. It is Monday and we are… somewhere. Represented by designer and co-creator Bunny Christie’s set – a gargantuan, impressionistic wall of filing cabinets –‘After Life’ takes place in a waystation between death and whatever comes after. Here, freshly deceased people are given until Saturday to decide upon a single memory they wish to be physically recreated to take forward with them – the implication being that this is all that will remain of them after this.

In 2012, People Snogging in Public Places was produced and broadcast by France-Culture (in the Fictions / Drôles de drames slot) under the French title of Regarder passer les trains (translator: Jacqueline Chnéour). Katie (Catherine Lamb) is a middle class, clarinet-playing Luton school girl with a vengeful streak and an attraction to danger. She doesn’t quite know what she’s running from or why, she just knows that her life feels dull, incomplete in some nameless way. She’s seeking adventure and thrills. She’s happy to use her sexual power but has no real sense of the danger she may be in. A heady combination.

On 3 December 2021, Underlying Health Condition was launched at an event at the Tate Modern, collaborating with other disability organisations such as Disabled Artists Networking Community, the Creative Diversity Network and 1in4 Coalition, to propose a series of requirements and measures to accommodate and support disabled artists in television. [54] [55] Personal life [ edit ] The plot essentially revolves around Luke Thallon’s sensitive perfectionist Two (his official name, although we learn it’s actually Charlie) and a handful of relationships he makes at the waystation. The first is with his coworker, Four (Millicent Wong), a teenager – ie, she was a teenager when she died – who chafes at the work and struggles to control her emotions, allows her anger to creep into her work. The second is with Beatrice (June Watson), a deceased old lady struggling to come to terms with her complicated feelings for her late brother. And the third is with Hirokazu (Togo Igawa), an elderly man who Charlie realises he has an unexpected – and technically illegal, under waystation rules – real-world connection to.

First impressions of Katie are that she knows what she’s doing and can’t wait to grow up. By the end, we’re left with a lonely girl unable to connect to anyone properly and struggling to fit into a world she doesn’t understand. While deeply political, it would be a shame not to recognise the essence of this play; a coming-of-age play for every woman who’s ever wobbled on the precipice of adulthood. In this production by Fabricate Theatre, Lamb plays Katie with a delicate balance of bravado, desperation and curiosity. It’s an exceptional performance from an actor clearly relishing the chance to take on this role and show her range. Her Katie is vulnerable, bitchy, smart and naive in equal measure. Lucy Weller’s set is simple but used to good effect. Every scene is alive and vivid, and as the tension builds the audience are completely drawn in.

[2] Career [ edit ] Theatre [ edit ]It’s just the usual walk home from school for Katie. Her school bag in one arm, clarinet in the other, yet she still manages to hold hands with Abe, her disinterested older boyfriend. But this bunny is about to go down the rabbit hole. Thorne’s writing is smart and knowing when playing with the connotations of the ‘Bunny’ title; the imagery weaves its way through the dramatic monologue as it resonates innocence and seduction; flighty yet inert – both pet and vermin. This Fabricate Theatre production is a testament to the company’s commitment of putting on modern writing that attempts to reach young people who might not attend the theatre, and to this end it is a bold, challenging and serious piece of work.

We meet many of these guests, but really the story is about the staff: hard-working and emotionally invested in their work, they have the air of compassionate care home workers.
