Hi all,
I briefly mentioned Philip Ridley's Brokenville in rehearsal but thought it would be really useful to give you some more information about it on here. I think it is quite relevant to our project. I hope you agree. The play has lots of very imaginative non literal reinactment as a means to fathom life for the small child and teenagers in the play and they use it to rebuild their pasts of, therefore reinactment group might find this a good source material. I will give you the quote from the preface to the play on here and I'll send you an extract of the openning of the play via email as its too long to post on here.
"Stories are for joining the past to the future. Stories are for those late hours in the night when you can't remember how you got from where you were to where you are. Stories are for eternity, when memory is erased, when there is nothing to remember except the story." (Tim O'Brian)
