Wrath by Roy Williams
Eve is overcome with anger when she is made redundant. But must her anger have a destructive end? Starring Rebecca Front.
Eve finds herself overcome with anger on the day that she is made redundant.
But does her anger necessarily have to have a destructive end?
Inspired by the medieval morality plays. Roy Williams presents a character whose anger at the inhuman nature of modern life moves her to an act of protest.
In medieval times allegorical plays such as 'Mankind' and 'Everyman' were used to warn audiences that how they lived in the present would affect their afterlife - whether they would end up in Hell, Purgatory or Heaven.
But in a secular age how do we deal with the nature of sins and virtues? Our attitude to good and evil is certainly less black and white. Is it bad to be proud, don't we deserve respect? Can't anger be used to promote change for the better and isn't envy what drives our materialistic lifestyle?
These five tales explore our attitudes to these questions through the character of 'Eve', a 21st-century Everywoman, played by Rebecca Front.
