Backwards by Alice Austen
WORLD PREMIERE
2006 recipient of the prestigious Royal Court Theatre Residency
What if everything you do is the result of an event that hasn't yet occurred? What if the words past and future, then and now, before and after have no real meaning? What if the only way to find the person you love is to take a ninety minute train ride...backwards? In this play, four people converge on a train: a physicist, his estranged wife, a novelist and a woman so afraid to go anywhere that she brings her life along with her in a canvas bag. Opening in the aftermath of a tragic event, the story traces how the destinies of these four characters become linked. In the process, the physicist and his wife come full circle to discover how science has become a metaphor for their lives and a reason to believe in reconciliation. Directed by Nicola Sheara with a quartet of gifted actors: Noni Connor, Vicky Devany, Michael Fosberg and Steve Jones.
