Some Explicit Polaroids
by Mark Ravenhill
Award-winning writer of Shopping and Fucking
Generations, causes and values collide as the lives of an ex-con, a gay man, a Labour councillor, a lap dancer, a pinstriped capitalist and a Russian good-time toy boy become irrevocably interwoven in this provocative urban fairytale.
After serving a 15 year jail term, anarchist Nick discovers that the world has changed, while he has not. With none of the old causes, friendships and foes to anchor him, Nick drifts into the hedonistic world of designer drugs and partying, in which a generationÂ’s natural idealism has become subordinated to corporate obedience and trash culture.
Some Explicit Polaroids presents us with punchy snapshots of contemporary life, loss and desire, which pulsate with energy, placing disparate, disaffected characters – each uniquely under the constraints of ‘the system’ – on a collision course, as they each search for the illusive happy ending.
“Searing… wicked… intelligent… disturbing… sensational…”
- The Times
“Ravenhill has more to say, and says it more refreshingly and wittily than any other playwright of his generation”
- Time Out
Featuring Christian Barrett-Hill, Genevieve Hegney, Gibson Nolte, Rebecca Smee, and John Turnbull. Directed by John Sheedy. Designed by Dane Laffery. Lighting Design by Luiz Pampolha. Sound Design by Max Lyandvert.
