pool (no water), Absurdist drama, pool (no water) is an
unsettling story that explores the fragility of friendship and the deep caverns
of the art world through a visceral performance devised by renowned British
playwright, Mark Ravenhill.
A freak accident surrounding an empty swimming
pool thrusts a group of friends into turmoil as they battle with guilt, pain,
resentment and envy. Throughout the course of this bizarre production, a
bubbling jealousy builds into a collective mania, conveyed through hypnotic
dialogue and captivating physical performance.
Mark Ravenhill is one of the most widely
performed playwrights in modern British theatre. Most famous for his hit play Shopping
and Fucking, Ravenhill also co-wrote the ITV sitcom Vicious,
starring Ian McKellen. He has consistently written widely acclaimed productions
including Mother Clap's Molly House, The Boy in the Dress
and The Cane and was one of the recipients of the V Europe Prize
‘Theatrical Realities’ awarded to the Royal Court Theatre in
1999.
