James has a gingham table cloth and terrible dreams. He is talking to his partner about his dead-end job, his waistline, whether she stole his donkey sanctuary mug and what we are doing to our planet. James is scared for the future.
He is grappling with what it is to be human and to live an ordinary life in the wake of intense ecological destruction. He tries to recount his dreams of oblivion despite the banality of their daily life.
Wasted is a piece of environmental theatre, part adapted from the poetic dystopia of T S Eliot's 'The Waste Land', that tackles climate change from the perspective of the human as a mix of the mundane and troublingly destructive.
Nathan Rodney-Jones, 'lost for words', is a writer and performer working between Devon and Norwich, where he studies MA Scriptwriting at the University of East Anglia. His work hopes to balance artistic playfulness and a vivid sense of the human. This will be his fourth solo show at the Fringe.
