An evening of one act plays - Network Theatre, Waterloo

To the Network Theatre in Waterloo, situated in a railway arch so you hear the trains rumbling overhead, to see Kunst Critique contributor Sue Catten tread the boards. She plays the daughter in Trevaunance Cove and delivers a monologue that by common consent was the highlight of the night, holding the audiences attention throughout.

The plays were as follows:

Trevaunance Cove by David Gray

A man and woman meet by chance on a dramatic Cornish cliff top in 1940. With the Nazis just across the channel set ready to invade, she optimistically suggests they meet again in ten years’ time at the same place. She promises him that the world of the future will be safer, happier and free. Many decades later their daughter is drawn to the same spot. 

A play which looks at the emotional power of a landscape and the human propensity to invent stories and romanticise memories. 

Psych101 by Andy Furmage

In a psychologist's treatment room, a routine session is not all that it seems to be. Over the course of the session a battle of wits develops with both psychologist (Paula) and patient (Sarah) battling for control. Paula and Sarah play cat and mouse with the truth through a series of flashbacks, until the final shocking revelation that Paula is sleeping with Sarah's husband.

The Gold Diggers of 2035 by David Gray and cast

A deadly virus has wiped out most of the population. Those that have survived have been left without the use of their left hands – except a now demonised minority who cannot use their right hands. Everyone is still traumatised, confused about what has happened and about where the world is going –  even viewing an old film of two-handed people is shocking and controversial. Then a special visitor drops in and kick-starts the healing process.

A blackly comic and atmospheric science fiction story which looks at how groups can be victimised and questions the accepted notions of beauty.
