The water's here, just like us, but soon it'll be flowing past
fresh flowers and new grass, and all the way out to the sea. Based
on a short story by the brilliant but often overlooked Russian
writer Andrey Platonov (1899-1951), Bliss is the tragi-comic tale
of a young couple trying to build a life against the odds in the
aftermath of the Russian civil war. As ex-soldier Nikita struggles
to overcome what we now might recognise as PTSD, the play opens up
into a colourful and strangely heart-warming kaleidoscope of
stories, song, laughter and magic, as the survivors of years of
devastating war and political revolution all strive to comprehend
how society can recover from catastrophe, how real love has both
passionate and practical faces, and how the future is only built by
those who manage to survive their past. This boisterous play is
published in Methuen Drama's Lost Plays series, celebrating new
plays that had productions postponed due to the Covid-19 outbreak
and the global shutdown of theatre spaces.
