| Description |
Perfect Stranger is the most personal play I have written. While it abounds in strange and impossible imagery, the emotional core is very real, and in fact many of the transactions are taken from life. Any play one writes is a kind of kaleidoscope of lived experience, pilfered stories, dreams, memories. As I wrote, I read about castaways and sleepers – Robinson
Crusoe, Rip Van Winkle; legends and myths; the fatal glamour of fairyland. It’s a play about the fleetingness of the here-and-now, about waking up to find what you thought was ahead is behind you. Carpe diem. – Hilary Bell, Writer |
