The Drowned World by Gary Owen
"This is a spine-tingling story of four people whose lives twist together in a devastating tale of love, sexual desire, identity and betrayal in a bleak world where the state is omniscient.
In Gary Owen's stunning play, individualism, here portrayed as beauty, is viciously eradicated by a totalitarian state. A daring and exciting fusion of poetic prose with shocking realism combines to create a haunting Orwellian landscape that strikes a chord in today’s society where image is, arguably, more important to the ambitious politician than sincere policies.
It's just another working day for Kelly. Get up early (can't sleep anyway), collect the day's orders and lead her death squad to exterminate the enemy. Until she looks the 'enemy' in the eyes, those beautiful, radiant eyes...
It's just another usual day for Tara and Julian. Get up (torn from sleep by the arrival of dawn), discuss plans for the day and make breakfast. Until the arrival of the death squad at their door...
Darren is lost, incapable, and desperate. He hides in his flat, shuts out the world and waits. Until the arrival of the angel sent to save him...and her boyfriend.
Four individuals who yearn for intimacy, acceptance and salvation but find only desolation and murder in a cold, brutal world. A drowned world."
