First Showing in Belgium
Mark Ravenhill / Lucy Morrison
Theatre / United Kingdom

Marc Ravenhill, English dramatist, enfant terrible of his generation, has written nearly a dozen plays with explosive ingredients. His theatre takes us to the heart of intense realities such as drugs, pornography, voyeurism in every sense of the word, and fame…Product that Marc Ravenhill performs himself is a rather singular monolog, he brings to the stage two characters: a man that speaks and a woman who is silent. The man: a film director; the woman: a starlet from B-films. To seduce her he uses an easy tool for someone of his position, he invents a scenario called “Mohammed and me” for a Hollywood film he wants to direct, the story of an attractive terrorist who meets in a plane an English girl that sleeps around easily. Otherwise saying a kind of Bridget Jones who meets the Islamic jihad. She falls in love with the terrorist who is going to transform himself into a human bomb and take her with him into the explosion. With this monolog, Marc Ravenhill expresses his anger against the contemporary jungle into an iconoclastic, curious, and provocative way. He shows us too how the media manipulates the image of terrorism especially the televise news that sell more and more fiction than facts.
