Stories
are for joining the past to the future...
Stories
are for those late hours in the night when you can't remember
how you got from where you were to where you are...
Stories
are for eternity, when memory is erased,
when there is nothing to remember except the story.

Brokenville
The third play in top
UK writer Philip Ridley’s trilogy of plays. Probably the strongest of
the three, Brokenville is set in an unnamed place after an unnamed disaster,
where people are drawn to a building by the sound of a child.
Their world is broken, and they begin to rebuild it and make sense of
their lives through telling stories about witches, wizards, kings and
princesses.
This is powerful theatre about hurt and healing—about cruelty and war,
hope and peace.
It’s about the nature of theatre itself and how it can help us make
sense of our world.
