Title: Rebecca Watson Little Scratch
Post by: Iain Fisher on November 13, 2021, 07:55:02 PM
Hamptead Theatre in London present a play based on Rebecca Watson's Little Scratch. "Blisteringly honest and unflinchingly intimate, Rebecca Watson’s debut novel is astonishing – a moment by moment account of a day in the life of a young woman".

On the play "Performed by four actors, each voicing quicksilver slivers of the woman’s consciousness, it has a flavour of Sarah Kane’s later work"  The actors  stand behind microphones on a bare black stage.
