Ghost from a Perfect Place

By Philip Ridley

If you think I'm threatened by you, you're wrong. I'm Travis Flood. I was threatening people before you were born.

Back in the sixties, Travis Flood and his gang terrorised Bethnal Green. Now, after an absence of 25 years, Travis returns and meets Rio, whose haunting beauty leads him to confront a story that bears no relation to his own distorted memory. And then there's the Cheerleaders . . . a present-day gang, more vicious and terrifying that anything Travis led in the past.

This edition of Ghost from a Perfect Place was published to coincide with the first major revival of the play at the Arcola Theatre, London, in September 2014.

I love it for it's scathing commentary on human behavior

I once saw this same author's play "the pitchfork disney" and I was floored. Not many dark views of human behavior hold fascination for me, but my God. This man has a knack for taking relationships (of ALL kinds) and showing us the ugliest and most twisted possibilities for them. Meanwhile doing it in such an artistic way that you just can't look away. This one might give you the creeps here and there--but SO worth it.
