Song Part 1

"Song" by Vicky Flood, Produced by Broken Glass. Part 1 of 4. Filmed live at the Roxy Art House, Edinburgh as part of the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

An original piece of writing, the Cambridge run of "Song" was acclaimed as a sensitive portrait of psychological collapse. The piece employs innovative performance methods and storytelling techniques through a disjointed narrative charting the last days and memories of a troubled young man in the wake of his chaotic relationships, who mixes images, and ghosts, of the distant past with his immediate surroundings, to narrate his own story. The project was very much about giving the unspoken, and the unspeakable, a voice. An experiment in audience engagement, the performance was intricately structured to give an appearance of sparseness which confronted the audience directly with the protagonist and his narrative.
Cast: Steven King, Lydia Birch and Andrew Buckingham.
