Perrier 2001 Award Nominee. Time Out 2002 Award Winner. Perrier 2002 Award winner. I have written a Play. It has a pretty epic scope, a relatively grand vision and somewhere in the region of twenty characters. It is, in short, a real humdinger. Unfortunately though, it is a script so ambitious, so demanding, so exquisitely detailed that handing an actor this text and putting them in front of an audience is much like handing a three year old child a pint of coffee and putting them in front of a zipwire. It wont end well. So I, ever vigilant, have pre-recorded each actor, in isolation, onto a separate tape, their fallibility erased with editing and their odious need for attention mitigated by the removal of the audience. Leaving a litany of individual voices - each one perfect and captured on a tape that when played back in precise unison will form a glorious theatrical polyphony. The play is perfect. The tapes are perfect. I just need enough people to press play. That's all. Daniel Kitson - Polyphony (A Work in Progress) website.
