When Davey Maskelyne embarks upon sonic therapy to restore his memory so he can help solve a crime the treatment leads to a reckoning with a past he never believed he could recover. The play wittily tangles with questions of loss and memory. What is a person without a past? Might we be better living in the moment? And how does sound give us a more profound experience of that past?
A binaural soundtrack gives the audience a chance to experience the sound world for themselves.
Will Eno is one of America's most exciting playwrights. Eno first burst on to the scene in Britain with his play Thom Pain (based on nothing) which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama.
In 2014 his play The Realistic Joneses appeared on Broadway where it received a Drama Desk Special Award and was named Best Play on Broadway by USA Today and Best American Play of 2014 by The Guardian. His play The Open House was presented Off-Broadway at the Signature Theatre in 2014 and won the Obie Award for Playwriting as well as other awards, and was on both TIME Magazine and Time Out New York's Top Ten Plays of 2014.
Will wrote this play specifically for Toby Jones :
Toby Jones is one of our country's best character actors. He made his breakthrough as Truman Capote in the film 'Infamous' and has gone on to appear in numerous other films including Frost/Nixon, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Hunger Games.
He was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Actor in a Television film for his roles as Alfred Hitchcock in The Girl and he won a BAFTA for his role in The Detectorists. He was starring in an acclaimed production of Uncle Vanya when lockdown occurred. Radio 3 broadcast 'Henry IV Part 1' starring Toby Jones as Falstaff in March and his performance met with huge praise from the critics calling Jones 'the great comic actor of our time' and the production 'lockdown gold'.
Toby Jones stars in Will Eno's play about the effect of sound upon memory.
