A double dose of surreal surprises.
In the first play, Heart’s Desire, two parents nervously await the arrival of their daughter from Australia. The scene is endlessly repeated with variations both hilarious and shocking: with each ring of the doorbell, Churchill pulls off a surreal surprise.
The second play, Blue Kettle, deals with a reunion of parents and children. Derek poses as the lost biological son of four different women: here Churchill combines experimental techniques with a startling vision of the fragility of family life.
Blue Heart is two short one-act plays – both entertaining and highly engrossing – about parenthood. In the first play a mother, father and aunt are nervously awaiting a daughter’s return form many years abroad. In the second play a man and his girlfriend are involved in an elaborate con – conning old ladies that they are his long-lost mother.
But neither play is quite what it seems. Churchill employs experimental tricks – fragmented time and language – to tell the stories…
