Info:
Nomad No More is a new
play written by Gareth Knapman with a large input from the actors
involved using the company’s innovative style of rehearsal. With
the use of improvisation; script-writers and role-play, the company take
the starting-point of a basic storyline and find out how and where their
individual character fits in. This method works to create highly
believable, non-romanticised characters and scenes that
are related to the actors’ own experiences (as a microcosm of the wider
population). The excitement and events within the play are based around the
dramas of real-life, not the poetic ramblings of a single
playwright.
Nomad No More is a man’s search for the reasons behind his twin brother’s suicide, which results in him looking to aspects of his own life (which he had previously accepted as being stable and productive) which suddenly seem bland and non-existent.

CHARACTERS
|
Michael is a young professional with a seemingly idillic and stable homelife. This stability is blown apart when he learns about the suicide of his twin brother. |
|
|
|
Michael is flanked by Anna (a prostitute who is linked to his brother's suicide) and a client... |
|
Michael is drawn further and further away from his family as he searches for the reasons behind his twin brother's suicide... |
|
|
|
Anna takes on a comforting role as Michael begins to lose his way... |
|
Confusion and desperation set in as Michael's questions lay unanswered. Why would someone leading such a seemingly happy life be drawn away from his loving family into the seedy world of prostitution - to the point where he commits suicide? |
|
|
|
The feelings between Michael and Anna develop into a strange, but passionate relationship... |
|
What lies ahead for Michael? He has had his eyes opened to the stark reality that his life has been ripped apart by the seams. Will he scramble to rebuild his old life and save his family, accept that his life has changed and try to build a new life around this fact, or simply give up like his brother did? |
