Two plays developed and commissioned under the Soho Young Writer's Programme: Claire is bright. Too bright. She crackles with energy. She has a flat, a boyfriend, a life - until one night she loses it all...Sectioned to a psychiatric ward, should Claire comply with the system or defy it? Is she manic, as the doctors tell her - or just too 'bright' for their liking. In Playing Fields Thyme's with Flea, when it pleases her. Kieran festers in a world of fish n'chips. Pete and his digi-cam are getting closer. And Justin's learning curve suddenly does a 360 degree turn. An extraordinary play about love, protest and the abrupt end of childhood by 17 year old writer Neela Dolezalova. Both plays open at the Soho Theatre in October 2002.
