Think of Shadows

By Lilian Moore

There are things I haven't said. Things I want to say again. I need to think. I need more time. A sudden shock, and a man's life flashes before his eyes. He experiences an intense rush of extraordinary images and tangled memories, revelations and lost connections. People time and places swirl around him. As he valiantly attempts to stitch it all back together, will his luck hold out? The play's conceit follows a man who has?suffered?a stroke and then?experiences a series of flashbacks.? Trapped within his own head, the audience are taken with him through a whistlestop tour of his life and a series of vivid, often painful episodes?from a childhood tragedy?to a crumbling marriage. ?In a beguiling portrait of mortality and humanity,? Freefall explores?memory, family and loss. From the author of Dublin by Lamplight and Foley , Freefall reunites?award-winning Irish playwright?Michael West with The Corn Exchange: Dublin's innovative?theatre company?who explore?the boundaries and possibilities of theatre?with?their trademark style of Commedia dell'Arte. Freefall is a?sharp, humorous and exhilarating look at the fragility of a human life,?blending impressionistic beauty, poignancy and comedy.?
