OTG's "Frank and Ferdinand" and "The Drunks" at Studio Liverpool

Uploaded by FilmInstinctOfficial on Mar 6, 2011
Off the Ground Youth Theatre is beginning a season of new work with a double bill of vastly different new plays.
Firstly, as apart of the National Theatres Connections project, is Samuel Adamson's Frank and Ferdinand. A village in a war-ravaged country wakes to find that one hundred and thirty children have vanished. Only four are left: Otto, Aloysius, Sarah and Flora. Interviewed by a Military Inquiry, each child tells the events of the night before. But their accounts seem to differ. Who is the elusive Sebastian and why does the Inquiry's depiction of him keep changing from delinquent to charmer and back again? What's real, and what's fairy-tale?
The second production, The Drunks, was commissioned for the RSC last year and Off the Ground will be the first European youth theatre to perform it. This riotous, satirical cartoon is set in an unremarkable Russian provincial town, which is in search of a hero. A shell-shocked soldier, whose doctors have warned him not to drink, returns from the frontline in Chechnya. And as Ilya arrives home he stumbles into the epicenter of an extraordinary power struggle between the weapons obsessed chief of police and the power-crazed mayor, his lonely ex-lover and manipulative journalist. Alcohol seems to be the only option.
