The Cleansing Of Constance Brown James Yarker

This volume brings together the original and unusual scripts for three key plays without words by radical British theatre company Stan's Cafe. The Cleansing Of Constance Brown (2007) jumps backwards and forwards through time and space to locations where power is exercised in rooms of a shifting dark corridor. It's Your Film (1998) was Stan's Cafe's break through show 4.5 minutes long for an audience of one it toured Europe for more than a decade. Simple Maths (1997) was a provokative act of minimalism deceptively sophisiticated once you look into its construction. Here the reader will find the notations for each show revealing behind the scenes details and construction. The book is illustrated with photos from the original productions, plus sketches, programme notes and supporting documents.
