Items related to Futureproof (NHB Modern Plays)
At a time when science and religion have conspired to make freak shows shameful, Robert Riley, owner of Riley's Odditorium, struggles to find ways to keep his company afloat. There's no money in the coffers and they've had to eat the horse. Only the mermaid act is bringing in the punters and even she's just holding her breath. To what lengths will Riley go to save his strange but special family? Lynda Radley's Futureproof is a play about entertainment and the human cost of the struggle for financial survival that is totally theatrical, imaginative and lyrical. It premiered at the Traverse Theatre during the edinburgh festival in 2011.

Review:
'there are not enough stars for this utterly draw-you-in drama showing the capacities of the human spirit in glorious theatrical terms' Edinburghguide.com 'Endearing, funny, finally sad, this is 90 minutes of rich wisdom about imagination, individuality and comradeship' The Times 'strikes exactly the right note, namely that strangeness is not otherness.' Financial Times
