02.03.20 - Contemporary Theatre Research - Mr Lemon

In our group, we have 3 females and 1 male so I think one of the important things to do is to make sure we can find a play with some contextual background.  We've already found the play Colder Than Here by Laura Wade.

COLDER THAN HERE - Laura Wade

This play works well so far as there are 4 characters, 1 male and 3 females.  This play is a comedy about a woman with bone cancer and her family coming to terms with her death.  There isn't a lot of context to the play to research besides the themes of death.  After some more research, I have discovered that the burial sites in Wade's play are natural after the green burial revolution in Cumbria in the early 1990s.

RIDERS TO THE SEA - John Millington Synge

This is another play we have found with 3 female actors and 1 male actor.  The problem with this is that it was published in 1904 so too early for this unit.

HIS RETURN - Percival Wilde

Yet again, this has 3 female and 1 male actors but published in 1922 so we are unable to do it.
