Taupe War
Friday 28th February 2020
Pinter Studio

Picture

The play will be the man's memory of a particular date he was on with the woman when he was younger, on the cusp of the Biafran war, while he was still in England studying for his masters. He is remembering how he felt in total control, being in his prime, and how naïve he believed the girl he was dating was of his intentions, as well as of life generally. In the end, as he reflects on the date after the Biafran war in the present day, he will realise she probably wasn’t as naïve as he thought she was and that he was not as in control of his life as he thought he was either.
