By David Eldridge Directed by Hettie Macdonald Designed by Jonathan Fensom Lighting Design by Jason Taylor Sound Design by David Benke Cast: Lewis Chase, Gerald Lepkowski, Daniel Mays, Joanne McInness and Lee Ross
The Bush Theatre presents the World Premiere of David Eldridge's M.A.D., directed by Hettie Macdonald, from Wednesday 21 April through Saturday 22 May 2004.
At the height of the Cold War M.A.D. stood for Mutually Assured Destruction. For 11-year-old John it meant Mum and Dad.
M.A.D. is a poignant and compelling family drama following the lives of a struggling market trader, his frustrated wife and their young boy John, as their whole world appears to be coming to an end.
Set in 1984, in the aftermath of the terrifying post-apocalyptic TV drama 'Threads', and then nearly twenty years later, M.A.D. tenderly explores the gap between the lifestyles and aspirations of parents and son. Out of a world full of cold war paranoia, an emotional fall-out haunts this ordinary family, threatening to rip apart the love that once drew them together.
David Eldridge was still at University in Exeter when he sent his first play Serving It Up to The Bush Theatre in 1996. It was produced as part of the London Fragments season, which won a Time Out Live Award. Under The Blue Sky (The Royal Court, 2000) won David the Time Out Live Award for Best New Play in The West End, and his adaptation of the Dogma95 film, Festen, plays at the Almeida Theatre until 1 May.
M.A.D. was commissioned by The Bush Theatre.
