    'Edwart & Arlette'

    by Alan Phelan 2014

    Short Film

    Director: Alan Phelan

    Producer: Alan Phelan

    Role: Mary

     

    "This adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes story The Adventure of the Cardboard Box has been reworked into a stylish whodunit with shot design and dialogue coming from a collection of hand photos gathered from mainly self-harming social media image sites.


    The words and sentence fragments found on these images were developed into dialogue and remain in the order they were found, forcing the narrative to take some unexpected turns.


    The central characters are modeled on a photograph of a French art critic and museum curator, now also doubling up as a gender shifting brother/sister. Murder and unrequited or misunderstood love are still key to the story which here crosses sexual boundaries and bleakly acted out through hand gestures and attention seeking garbled dialogue"

    'Seduced' by Sam Shepard.

    Play - Ensemble
    Director: Lane Jackson
    Producer: Dramsoc NUIG - nominated at the ISDAs
    Role: Desire.

     

    Henry Hackamore, reputed to be the richest man in the world, is now a bearded, aged recluse, who lives on the top floor of a Caribbean luxury hotel, attended by his bodyguard-nurse, Raul. Paranoid, desperately lonely and obsessed by a fear of germs, he is kept alive by drugs and infusions of blood from other geniuses. Aware that his life is ebbing away, and determined to have one last fling, he flies in two women whom he had known, and loved, in the past. But while they are still attractive and vigorous, his energies are so drained that they can only talk of other times and other places.

     

    Entrapped by his delusions, Hackamore is a burnt-out case, a parody of the American Dream who, despite his limitless wealth and power, cannot forestall the inevitable decline into futility, boredom and an agonizingly lonely death.

    Blue Devils - First Fortnight Festival 2019.

    Physical Theatre

    Role: Performer / Deviser

     

    BLUE DEVILS is a work in progress which uses music, voice, physical theatre and movement. It explores imagined moments in the lives of four of Tennessee Williams’ heroines, who were treated as mentally unstable because of their refusal to satisfy the expectations of society.

    In 1943, after being diagnosed as schizophrenic, Rose Williams, Tennessee Williams’ sister, underwent a prefrontal lobotomy which left her mentally incapacitated. Williams was very close to his sister and this trauma left its mark on the man and on the writer. Shades of Rose can be found in many of Williams’ female characters. Mentally unstable or free spirited ?
     

    "Blanche, Zelda, Serafina and Catherine are strong, unconventional women that normative society tries to ground down. In the plays that feature these heroines, Tennessee Williams questions society’s treatment of women who don’t fit into the mold. Inspired by his writings, this piece will take the audience into the imagined private world of these characters, into the unwritten."


    « Blue Devils » was an expression used by Tennessee Williams to talk about the voices in his head, when he was in low spirits. In August 1931 he writes in his notebook ; « A little crazy blue devil has been me all day . I wish I could shake him off and walk alone and free in the sunlight once more. ».
