Common is a dark and disturbing journey into the carnivalesque
world of early-Industrial Britain, exploring the personal and
public traumas in the period of the enclosure. Written with verve
and wit by Olivier Award-nominated and Writers' Guild Award-winning
playwright DC Moore, it tells the story of Mary, a woman who has
returned to the village of her birth after years of grifting a
living on the edge of respectable London society. She is there to
confront old enemies and rekindle a former love. But there's
trouble in the air as the local Lord struggles to extend the reach
of his power by reclaiming the common-land as his personal fiefdom.
Will Mary be able to win over those she lost before? Or will the
violence of the time seep over into even the purest of missions?
Common is an epic, funny and uncanny history play which examines
the period of the enclosure, asking what does community mean and if
there can ever be resolution in the intractable battle between
individual desires and the common good. Common received its world
premiere on the Olivier stage of the National Theatre, London, in a
coproduction with Headlong, in May 2017.
