CONTEMPORARY theatre company Pursued By A Bear celebrates its 10th anniversary with two one-hour plays by two of the UK’s most exciting emerging playwrights.
The first play, For One Night Only by Oladipo Agboluaje, brings African slapstick to the Home Counties when Bode and Eddie arrive at Gatwick via the same dodgy passport service.
Finding they share more than just the same new identity, they hook up to make their fortune performing at Covent Garden.
Meanwhile, in Rukhsana Ahmad’s piece, Letting Go, Abbas is haunted by a brother he can’t forget.
On a cold dark night in Dover he keeps a lonely vigil watching the ships come and go but in the midst of his sorrow the woman who taught him a new language now teaches him a new way to love.
Footprints in the Sand is at The Mill, tonight (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday) at 8pm. Tickets are £10 from 01483 440000 or by visiting the website www.yvonne-arnaud.co.uk
