Stephen Poliakoff 'has been one of our sharpest and least
predictable writers for the past twenty years' (Daily Telegraph) In
his new play, Remember This, Stephen Poliakoff looks at the
insidious role that technology plays in all our lives. The video
camera becomes an interruption in the daily existence of Rick and
Victoria and their friends and relations as the couple prepare for
their wedding, to such an extent that the video diary they are
recording begins to take over their lives. If events have not been
recorded they have not been lived. Their memory of events is only
what exists on tape for an audience to see or hear. When the stress
of modern living reaches a critical peak, Rick's forsakes real life
for one totally imagined. Remembering becomes harder and
harder."Stephen Poliakoff addresses the problem of the amnesia that
threatens to overtake us all, as a hundred different developments -
social, cultural, technological - conspire to cut us off from the
past" (Sunday Telegraph); "His social observations often have a
deadly accuracy" (Guardian)
