Re: Theatre Piece

hi alex,<br>i know that "she's lost control" is
about a girl ian used to help try to find work who had
epilepsy and that one day she didnt turn up for an
appointment and later ian found out that she'd had a fit and
died.<br><br>"the eternal" is about a neighbour of ian's who had
down's syndrome and due to this illness never changed
from when he was a child to an adult.<br><br>"colony"
is about a novel called "heart of
darkness"<br><br>"atrocity exhibition" is about the novel of the same name
by j.d. ballard<br><br>"no love lost" is about a
book called "the house of dolls" which is about
prisoners in nazi concentration camps<br><br>"dead souls"
is i think about either having epileptic fits or
having terrifying nightmares/visions.<br><br>"love will
tear us apart" is basically about the way he and
deborah grew further apart during the last year or so of
ian's life.<br><br>hope all this helps xxxx
