Whats on
NARRATION:Somewhere in the deep reaches of outer space, unknown to mankind, a force of flying saucers, envoys from a dying world, hover above the planet Earth.But our story begins not up in the stars, but down on earth. New York City, buzzing Metropolis, home and work place for millions of “Mr and Mrs America''.
Our story begins here, day 1, somewhere in New York.A flying saucer over the city, yes, flying saucers over New York!
Below, anxious eyes stare disbelievingly towards the skies.New Yorkers throughout the city find this amazing sight both unbelievable and even frightening.And then, no sooner than it appeared the alien spacecraft leaves the skies above the city.
The strangely glowing silver object traveling faster than the speed of light into the clouds above.
Leaving the airwaves of planet Earth reeling in the reports of this unique sighting.
Late on a Thursday afternoon the still bright sunshine streams through from the unseen shop front. The plastic strip curtain that hangs across the doorway separating the shop from the living room, moves in the gentle breeze from the open doors.We are also aware of the sound coming from a television, which is at the moment unwatched in the empty, cluttered room. An electric kettle begins to boil before switching itself off.
Now we have set our scene it is time to let 'Between Two Summers' characters populate it.
Stage Directions from the Original Theatre Script:
The year 2019. The place: Southend-on-Sea.It is almost the end of another summer season. The main action takes place in the rear living room and kitchen area situated behind a small family run seafront shop. Once long ago it had been simply a sweet shop /tobacconist. But now the tiny space, of which we can see only the rear, is crammed full of beach toys, cheap t-shirts, postcards and the like.
Though we are only able to see the area of the shop that leads to the door and three steps down into the living room, we are always aware of the busy seafront and all the sounds of the life that goes on there. The sounds change considerably as we move through the seasons. As the lights come up we hear the crowds and sounds from the small and large arcades that share the seafront with this small shop.
Winners and losers who choose…
or think they choose… to stay friends.
And then... months later... with a short car journey, or maybe a long one...
the Friendship takes its first steps to really begin.
The door bell rings... the front door opens….
and the unknown and the unexpected begin...
People find people. People make friends.
But where do these people find those people,
those strangers?
At a bus stop… school…. a cafe…
over the garden fence?
Or perhaps they are just waiting in a waiting room….
or maybe…. just maybe….
it’s on a game show in 1999?
