albatross.

“It’s not just the choice
It’s never just the choice
Choice is a fairytale.”
Tattoos are forever. Almost. And at Noodle Soup Tattoo there are strict rules: No names unless they’re dead. Nothing on the face. Nothing you might get sued for later.
When Jodie, a rough sleeper, asks for a free tattoo from apprentice Kit, her request is well within the guidelines. But Kit is still unsure, because they know only too well that getting inked isn’t the only decision that stays with you for the rest of your life.
Albatross is a small but sweeping story about the past refusing to stay in the past.

Interruptions shows an imaginary country preparing for an election, undergoing a military coup, and then living through the consequences.
Originally devised by Annabel Arden and Stephen Jeffreys, represent. now has the privilege of staging its UK premiere with a new adaptation for a smaller cast.
In her introduction to the collection Stephen Jeffreys: Plays (Nick Hern Books, 2018), Jeffreys’ wife Annabel Arden writes: “[Interruptions] sprang from [Stephen’s] fascination with the Japanese aesthetic principle of Jo-ha-kyu and his desire to create a particular narrative form to express our struggles with democracy and leadership.”
It asks the questions: Do we need to be led? How do we decide who leads? What happens when there are no leaders?
Running time: 2h (excl. 15m interval)
