BETWEEN THE AISLES
10 minutes – 2M 2W
The prejudices and weaknesses of four people are exposed through a short piece of experimental theatre. Each of the characters provide a commentary on the pretensions of avant-garde theatre (in which they are, of course playing a part) and the follies of new technologies that take them away from the whole experience of watching the play. Each in his/her own way is absent while attempting to be present.
