Me & Marilyn Monroe/Krankenhaus Blues
Me & Marilyn Monroe - ‘Only me and Marilyn Monroe get looked at every time we walk into a room’ once remarked a disabled poet. Inspired by this, DaDaFest 2010 invited some of the most talented and exciting up-and-coming Deaf and Disabled writers in the UK to turn their own unwavering gaze upon the world around them. These two evenings of rehearsed readings of new works features some startling and provocative results. Krankenhaus Blues Sam Forman’s new play
Krankenhaus Blues - is a frightening and funny play about disability issues, genocide, and the grim realities of show business. A playwright, an actress and a clown are locked in a Nazi asylum for reasons beyond their comprehension. Moving between 1930's Berlin and present day New York City, the characters make great efforts to connect with each other as they confront their existentially bleak surroundings.
