DARK will be happening soon...

So....DARK will be staged between the 10th-14th of January at the English Theatre, Berlin. Here is a quick synopsis...

DARK
'Dark' is a one-character play based around a man called Terry, an obsessive-compulsive depressive with a fear of light. In order to cope with the terror of every day living, he forces himself to remain in an almost constant self-induced Psychosis, maintaining only impersonal superficial relationships with inanimate objects like his boots and radio. He also suffers from short-term memory loss.

Terry's world comes crashing down, when out of the blue he is informed that he is to be executed with immediate effect. He is also given the task of organizing it himself. This includes the execution, the funeral and the payment of his outstanding debts.

He has to somehow pull his fragmented mind together in order to give himself a dignified sending off that will leave nobody in any doubt that he was a good person. He looks back on his life, rewriting the facts as best he can in order to clear his conscience of any wrongs he may have inflicted on others, on himself and on the world in general.

As the end nears, as the light disappears and the darkness takes over, as the cruelty and injustice of humanity unfolds, Terry finds himself more and more comfortable with his world becoming Dark. There is nothing to fear. There never has been.
