AVOIDANCE A new flatmate... a hole in the floor... and a missing pot-plant called Nigel. These are the triggers for the strange set of circumstances that make up AVOIDANCE, a one-act play that is funny when it should be sad and sad when it should be funny. Hugh arrives at his new lodging to be confronted with an unbalanced, plant-loving book-worm, a compulsive liar and a hole in the floor which nobody can explain. Who stole three bottles of diet coke and replaced them with out-of-date food? Who is Izzy? And what really happened to Susanna's father? If you want the answers to these questions, and if you've ever wondered what happened to the weekend, look no further. Funny and cathartic by turns, it's one not to avoid. The playwriter's tale: Avoidance is the first play she has written, though another one,
equally strange, is now complete. The concept actually came out of a strange
conversation she had with her friend Tophe over a cheese pie. At that point, it
was just a play about a pot-plant called Nigel. Since then, it seems to have
morphed into something of its own, but she greatly enjoyed the fact that the
events surrounding the hole in the floor seemed to write themselves. Page last updated: 12 November 2008
