BBC Coverage

BBC coverage of 10 1/2 hour workshop with Beverley Jordan Director of ‘Blank Canvas Productions Ltd’. Taking a look at absurd behavior traits in modern society and obsessive use of the internet. Stimuli used — Oscar Wilde, Theatre of the Absurd.

I enjoyed writing this iambic pentameter for the introduction to this performance:

“On this our workshop performance day,

I hereby name this ‘Our Strange Little Play’.

A mere ten and a half hours to produce,

And hopefully from it you will deduce

Some understanding of self inflicted strife

Of Human behaviour in this modern life.

Comedy of Manners we have employed,

Quotes of Oscar Wilde we have also toyed.

So sit back, relax and be astounded,

At our insight you will be well confounded.”
