In an evening with the Friends of Highgate Library, we re-enacted Coleridge’s life of radicalism, love and poetic rivalry in a pop-up play by Beth Shaw and Martin Bould.
Beth and Martin’s Domestic Theatre Handbook: Instant plays, anywhere, anytime comprises a guide on how to do it yourself (50 pages) and another 300 pages of scripts, including mummers plays, literary-inspired plays and historical plays, arranged A to Z from Alice through the one-way mirror (which riffs on psychotherapy themes) to Zenda, the prisoner of sibling rivalry (a 2011 spoof on the Anthony Hope novel crossed with political themes of the day).
