Pity

Two bombs in one day is a foul coincidence. Don't forget the lightning strike.

A normal day. A person stands in the market square watching the world go by. What happens next verges on the ridiculous.

There's ice cream. Sunshine. Shops. Some dogs. A wedding. Bombs. Candles. Blood. Lightning. Sandwiches. Snipers. Looting. Gunshots. Babies. Actors. Azaleas. Famine. Fountains. Statues. Atrocities. And tanks. (Probably).

Rory Mullarkey's play asks whether things really are getting worse. And if we care.

This amateur production of Pity is presented by arrangement with Casarotto Ramsay and Associates, is directed by Professor Adam Ledger and performed and supported by Drama students in the Department of Creative Industries.
