In a room in the middle of nowhere, a man and a woman dream up
spectacular worlds: a decaying city, a lush and crumbling garden, a
train journey across a drowned landscape. Darkly humorous, absurd
and surreal, these are plays for a theatre in which time and space,
character and setting are as uncertain as the maps this man and
this woman draw. A co-founder of the legendary 1980s performance
theatre company Impact Theatre Co-op, Claire MacDonald composed
Utopia, a sequence of commissioned playtexts, between 1987 and
2008. This edition brings together both the plays and the story of
how the plays came to be made and written. With a compelling
introduction by the author, and including additional material by
Tim Etchells, Deirdre Heddon, and Lenora Champagne, this book
provides a range of historical and critical materials that put the
plays in the context of MacDonald's career as writer and
collaborator, and show how visual practices and poetics, theories
of real and imagined space, and new approaches to language itself
have profoundly shaped the development of performance writing in
the UK.
