Biting Point (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Look, you won't know me. But you will. I want you to know me, you see. I want you to know me in the way I know these roads around us, the roundabouts in surround sound, the bridges, the cut-throughs, the one-way systems, the water. Supermarket driver John and property manager Anita spend their working days in Hull's endless traffic, trying to keep ahead of targets and ticking clocks. Driven to distraction by substitute groceries and dodgy plumbing, tensions flare when they collide on a busy roundabout. Biting Point is about class, race and anger in contemporary Britain. It's about the communities we belong to, the pressures we're under, and how modern life can turn us into people we don't want to be. Sid Sagar's play was produced by Middle Child and first performed at Fruit Market Multi-Storey Car Park, Hull, in May 2025.
