Squint -

22 September to 18 October 2003, 8pm Monday to Saturday@ The Chelsea Theatre, London. Play by Tony Craze -Cast: Rory Murray, Patsy Palmer, Joe Shaw and Sadie Shimmin

From Monday 22 September Joe Shaw will be starring as Jack in the world premiere of Squint, a new commission from Tony Craze, writer of the critically acclaimed Passion seen here in April last year and winner of the Verity Bargate Award for his first play, Shona. As with Tony’s previous plays, Squint takes a challenging look at contemporary society and investigates the inner workings of our complicated and fragile psyche.

Set in the seemingly polar opposite worlds of an East End art studio and an Anglican retreat, Squint explores human dependence on forces and substances outside of themselves. Four characters, each very different, but intertwined, each searching for meaning and purpose in modern life, find their answers in a range of addictions, both physical and philosophical. Hugh looks for answers in fine art, booze, and perhaps religion; Courtney in the trill of cocaine and the moment; Jack in the 12 Steps of the AA Programme and Ruth in the Anglican doctrine.

Joining Joe will be: Patsy Palmer, best remembered as Bianca in Eastenders and recently seen in Mum’s the Word in the West End; Sadie Shimmin who has performed at the National and Gate Theatres and Rory Murray who has appeared at the National and Royal Court Theatres and with the RSC.
