A butterfly

by Laura Lomas

Directed by Jo Gleave

"And if the world is in chaos, then it means there's no order. and if there's no order, then it basically means that anything is possible"

A girl is locked in a room. A boy brings another boy flowers. A girl has tied herself to a railing. A boy doesn't know who he is. A girl worries about impending catastrophe. A woman jumps in front of a train. A boy's heart falls out his chest. A butterfly has a broken wing.

Laura Lomas's play Chaos is a symphony of dislocated and interconnected scenes. A series of characters search for meaning in a complicated and unstable world. Bouncing through physics, the cosmos, love and violence, they find order in the disorder of each other.

This amateur production of Chaos is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books
