BEING EDITED
The original text
Originally titled Rats! (performed 2013) it consists of three pieces threaded together by a theme of greed.The pieces performed consist of a rendition of Robert Browning’s famous poetic account of The Pied Piper of Hamelin, a satirical look at the colonial legacy called The Handover by Nick Warren. The final piece, Jasmine’s Jewel by Lionel Newton.
In 2014 it was reconstructed as a two-man piece with music and renamed for performance as Agreed. The vignettes remain three monologues performed by a single actor, but now includes a multi-disciplinary duet between an actor and a cellist.
