Produktbeschreibung
A play for two actors, written by Darren Rapier from an original concept by Stuart Murdoch. EXTENSIONS OF LOVE examines the effects of erotomania, or psychoses passionalle: The obsessive relational intrusion of one person to the detriment of another. LENA KERN is a relatively successful outgoing person. She is not a superstar, a celebrity or in charge of a large corporate organisation. She is merely the object of AMANDA JUDD's affection. But that affection is all consuming. Through that alone LENA loses her job, her relationship, her friends and even her own sense of who she is. Their lives are fused beyond separation, the events pull both of them from the world they know, to where priorities and routines are distorted beyond recognition. The thoughts and feelings provoked are way beyond friendship, concern or even hatred, they are pathological extensions of love.
Autorenporträt
'Jam tomorrow' is a quote from Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland. It has become used as an expression of 'things will get better' - 'you can have jam tomorrow'. This, along with Maya's own journey to Wonderland, represents the feeling of the time (1968). 'It's worth putting up with a bit of austerity, as things will get better' - the following year America would put a man on the moon, the UK would soon join the EU and by 'Backing Britain' and working longer hours things would improve. The title also refers to the biggest employer in the area, the 400 employee Robertson's jam factory up the road - preserving the fruits of today, so we can enjoy them tomorrow. It closed in 1970. But Jam Tomorrow is not a downbeat show - it is an optimistic up beat view of the times, reflecting today, using original and existing songs to inform and entertain, while letting us take a peak at life in Bellingham 50 years ago.
