Overview
From Mark Ravenhill, the celebrated and controversial writer of ‘Shopping and F*cking’ comes Some Explicit Polaroids. Nick just got out of jail after 15 years behind bars and finds his former girlfriend, Helen, buried in a job they both used to despise. Tim is sick and spends his time buying new toys on the internet: his latest item is a Russian go-go dancer named Victor. Nadia is a stripper who’s abused by her lover and is in constant search of enlightenment. And Jonathan, who works for the government, is very, very pissed off.
With a stellar cast mixing accomplished and emerging actors; Andrew Ford, Roberto Nascimento, Edward Newborn, Lucy McCammon, Rashmi Pilapitiya and Robert Tripe this is a play designed to shock. It's also Mark Ravenhill’s most accomplished play, populated with the familiar gallery of criminals, junkies, sex-workers and psychotics who are Ravenhill's heroes. It delves into the zeitgeist and finds an era where political and personal clash in a slow motion car crash involving AIDS, lapdancing and high ambition.
