Synopsis
'Ridley's play, with its surreal fantasies, has an edgy, alarming potency of its own, the writing unfettered by any expectations of how a play should be.' - Guardian
Against a backdrop of post-apocalyptic dreams, blood-hungry dogs and labyrinthine nightmares, Presley and his twin sister, Haley, eat chocolate and tell each other stories in order to fend off their darkest fears. Everything will be okay as long as they stay together, inside. But then, one night, Presley sees a beautiful stranger through the window – 18-year-old Cosmo Disney – and, while Haley sleeps, unbolts the front door and lets him in.
First produced in 1991, The Pitchfork Disney heralded the arrival of a unique and disturbing voice that single-handedly changed the face of British drama. Vivid and visionary, Philip Ridley’s unsettling and dreamlike play offers a prophetic exploration of fear, sexual paranoia, and living in ‘alternative worlds’.
Published in Methuen Drama’s Modern Classics series, Ridley’s breakthrough work is introduced by Aleks Sierz (author of In-Yer-Face Theatre).
