Young Bartholomew, just out of university, finds himself charged
with the task of going out to Thailand to sort and possibly edit
and publish the papers of his dead grandfather, Ta. Whilst he knew
that his Ta was gay, Bart is initially a little shocked by the
material he finds. He becomes caught up in the task of piecing
together the man who wrote them and begins to ask himself new
questions about how we perceive and understand ourselves. Bart
decides to publish the book about his grandfather’s journey
growing up as a closeted gay boy in 1950’s and 1960’s England.
It follows his journey in finding other possible selves both in the
very different society of Greece in the 60’s and in the
transformative possibilities of amateur acting. And after getting
lost in the stifling atmosphere of an academic career and trying,
through marriage and fatherhood, to mould himself into a ‘self’
which he could not maintain, Ta ostensibly finds release and a new
sense of possibilities in Thailand. But was the new self any less
fictive than earlier ones? In A Life in Pieces follow Bart and his
grandfather, Ta, as they journey to find their true selves and
understand their identities.
