Description Catastrophe is minimalist with an ash covered actor, being manipulated by a director's assistant under instruction from a large fascist director...Come and Go, with Vi, Flo and Ru, three
abbreviated and stunned middle
aged women in lace frocks and horrible hats. The trio ritualise the social cycle...Embers, a staged radio
play. A broken Beckettian monologue about a man's past...Embers maps Henry's attempt to converse with ghosts.
