"I was looking for love and I found love, but heaven knows I'm
miserable now…"

HALF A PERSON
My Life as told by The Smiths
________________________________________________________________________
A play by ALEX BROUN
Directed by ROBERT CHUTER
Music Recreation by SIMON POLINSKI & COLIN BERWICK
with
DAVID FORSTER as William

William is too smart for his long black drinking, tight jeans wearing,
emo hairstyle sporting, `The Smiths' worshipping good. He only
exists to devour coffee, despise 'people' and worship the patron
saint of wrist-slashing -Steven Patrick Morrissey. Just like his Idol
the world he occupies is cruelly lonely. He stumbles from café to
cemetery in search of a companion or maybe just a confidant. He runs
headlong into Salome; the obtuse, obstructive, agent of seduction that
slithers her way into his addictive personality where she infatuates
herself remorselessly. Meanwhile, the best friend that he never knew he
might not have one day, Rick, is struggling with his own desire for
William and his dwindling mortality. William is confined in a terrible
triangle; the girl of his dreams treats him like dirt, his best friend
is in love with him and on top of this, the Smiths have broken up. A
beautifully dark, blackly funny and painfully touching play set to the
music of The Smiths, the music that gives William a chance to be more
than just, `Half A Person.'
