Beast
An award winning new play
by Elena Bolster
'Smile and dance and move the moving hands of yours
that know to search my softer deeper spots.
You skilfully, begin to join the dots.'
He is an ageing artist. She is a young prostitute. What starts as a drunken
exchange, a night of paid-for fantasy, turns into a lilting, lusting
love-story. Egon and Valie find themselves at sea, caught unexpectedly in
the potent rise and fall of love. Drawn to each other, and bound together
inexplicably, they are happy to exist only for each other. But Egon is ill,
and when disease and decay sets in, their story plunges into murky water. He
finds himself failing Valie, quickly losing the ability to paint or to love.
Drunk and reeling, against the backdrop of clanking docks, swarming fish and
a swirling sea, their story comes to a tragic, mournful end.
'I am the aftermath before the after.
A breath after disaster.'
Switching between lyrical, swaying verse and terse dialogue, Beast mixes
intimate live performances and voice-overs, with a haunting soundscape and
strange, evocative flickering film footage to create the passionate and
vulnerable world of fated lovers.
