HAVE I NONE

​2009 // Upstairs at 3&10, Brighton



​The Result Is Very Unsettling

​

Edward Bond is well known for his dystopian visions of society. Áine’s adaptation of his one act play, Have I None, was a bleak and inhuman glimpse of our future, where memories and personal relationships are forbidden. The play was also very funny, with extraordinary sequences of slapstick, physical comedy on the tiny 3&10 stage. Áine created a monochrome environment where every single thing bore a stencilled code number; a pencil, a food bowl, the table, every item of clothing, and even the people themselves. One of the most striking aspects of the performance was the total lack of eye-contact between the characters. In interviews about the production Áine explained “This is a world where people have become forcibly emotionally isolated, deliberately alienated from one another, a kind of deliberately engineered mass autism. No one looks at, listens to or empathises with anyone else. The result is very unsettling.”
