Two plays by "one of our most interesting playwrights" (The Times)
THE ASTRONOMER'S GARDEN: "While its base is the vicious rivalry
between Astronomer Royal Flamsteed and Halley calculating
longitude, its true subjects are class, sex and the real world they
cannot catalogue. Hood paints the two, irresistibly, as bombastic
old sticks, but the play's real strength is its exploration of
relationships, showing how Flamsteed's wife and maid navigate male
ego-infested waters." Independent The Astronomer's Garden was
premiered at the Croydon Warehouse in 1988 and subsequently revived
at the Royal Court Theatre, London in 1989.BEACHED: "A couple of
young runaways, cast up on the beach of a bird sanctuary, cling to
the wreckage of their lives and try to construct some kind of
future from the fragments of their emotionally and physically
brutalised pasts. Harsh, tender and moving." Time Out Beached was
first performed at the Croydon Warehouse and revived 1990 at the
Old Red Lion, Islington.
