Tissue

MSK Production’s
rendition of Louise Page’s, 1978 play Tissue, brings you a talented
and versatile trio focusing on breast cancer awareness.
Tissue',
by award-winning playwright Louise Page, is the story of Sally, a young woman
in her twenties, who is struggling to come to terms with the discovery,
treatment and aftercare of breast cancer.
In Tissue, Sally Bacon discovers she has breast cancer.
Fantastically played by Georgia McIntyre, Sally is dressed in white throughout
the show despite several costume changes to represent her innocence. As the
show begins Sally is circled giving the impression she is surrounded by her
cast members Wesley Milligan and Emily Hyndman contrastingly dressed in black.
Following her admission of her condition, Sally's fears are
ridiculed, dismissed, treated with indifference and ultimately she is left with
no resolution
The
play travels through various time zones and locations, to present various small
scenes, with each of them forming a part of the larger picture. The short
scenes depict touching moments of Sally's experiences during this time, dealing
with family members, mum and Brother Simon, friends Fleur and
Zoey and lovers, as well as doctors and cool official voices dispensing
useful medical knowledge which are interspersed with flashbacks of
childhood games.
The
play is an intimate, emotional drama which opens up vast areas of feeling
beneath the surface of ordinary lives, tugging at the heart-strings and showing
the effect on everyone caught up in the crisis.
Director Spencer Kennedy uses a blank stage and minimal set to
create an isolated environment for Sally.
All programme sales will donated to cancer research
