Crave presents four characters, or perhaps four aspects of human nature, all of which are singly, overwhelmingly traumatized by life. Fragments of speech reveal a litany of rape, infidelity, loneliness, familial rejection, romantic rejection and childlessness. Each character has a set response to what life has dealt them - anger, indignance, baffled argumentativeness and near hysteria, respectively - and this is maintained at a consistently high pitch throughout. There is no sense of development or dynamism in these emotions, and no bleeding of one into the other in the characters’ stilted interactions.
See U Next Tuesday productions aim to provide a hard-hitting style of theatre that raises issues that are of vital importance within the context of the youth culture. We want to bring together artists from all disciplines and provide a forum within which they can debate their concerns and frustrations. The group formed in 2006 with Queen’s Drama students producing Mark Ravenhill’s ‘Shopping and F***ing’ in the QFT. Now graduates, we aim to continue on with more energetic theatre.
