Meat Market play, Writers’ Lab @ Soho Theatre, 90 minutes
Meat Market’ was developed with Soho Theatre over 9 months, from September 2013-July 2014, and performed at Soho Theatre in November 2014. Selected as one of 30 writers from over 200 applicants. A play exploring two males’ clubbing experience. All scenes are structured around food processes, representing the two main characters’ approach to women. The basis of character development was solely looking at the way people consume food, the movements they make with food on the smallest scale. Theatricality is based around food rituals. The visceral and ethereal are connected through one of the characters’ inner dialogue running down the right hand side of the page – to give creative leeway to the director to use it as another physical presence onstage or simply as stage directions to guide the dialogue.
2 characters onstage, 2 characters offstage throughout
