Transition is a play which seeks to negotiate the characters
of two young people. People from a lost generation seeking solace through the
desire to belong. The diametrically-opposite characters of Ia and Paul
negotiate a common ground through the awkward black comedy which emerges
through their meetings in a dingy, forgotten meeting room in a rehab centre. As
both try to portray the personalities they desperately seek and construct, they
slowly chip away at one another, revealing the person they are so afraid to be.
Written
and designed by Madelaine Davis who performs alongside Brandon Moulder, Transition has played the last two Grahamstown
National Arts Festivals (2012 and 2013) to good response from Cue, the festival
newspaper: “Surprising and thrilling at every step” (2012) and “You will be
left speechless and touched after this fantastic piece” (2013).
Direction
is by Vedarsha Singh with technical support from Donna Steel and Candice Sparks.
Transition runs at Seabrooke’s Theatre from July 24 –
28 (duration 45 minutes) and age restriction is 13.
