Today we went to see "Ditch" a new play by Beth Steel. Here is a preview LINK.
Ditch tells the story of six people living in a post apocalyptic England in the near future when much of the country is underwater. The government has been reduced to a group of fascist dictators and the four men in the story patrol the moors for illegals in a rural outpost of the state.
The play follows the four men plus two women in the constant downfall of life as they know it.
Fluff and I first saw a review of the play on the telly and it seemed interesting.
The stage is under Waterloo Station and feels, smells and is cold as hell. Today was a very hot day but you would never know it down there... With the actors and the audience shivering in the cold the story unfolded.
"Ditch" is a play that I would recommend to everyone to go and see while you can as, just like Rhubarb juice, it will not last forever!
