Daniel Kanaber

Accidental Festival The Roundhouse, Camden 22nd May 2009
Director: Adam Quayle

"Starless night. / All washed away by streetlight. / Interference."

When Josh volunteers for the Samaritans, he wants to make a difference. Lost in the swell of the city, he breaks the monotony of his day-to-day, listening silently to the confessions of strangers. Until one day, one call shatters his peace.  He finds himself once more on the edge, staring at dark waters. 

"Daniel Kanaber proves that he is a playwright worth reckoning with... Echoes of Miller, Pinter, Shepard and Steinbeck"

Kenneth Emson

Hotbed Festival 1st July 2009
Latitude Festival 16th-19th July 2009

Director: Hannah Tyrrell-Pinder

"The universe stops for everyone. Everyone except one."

Amid the prefect badges, school blazers and empty B&H packets, a secret lurks that will send shivers down the spine of a small community. Kev goes out with Lisa, Lisa lives down the same road as Jack, Jack hangs out with Ben.

But on a warm sunny day, when they should have been at school, events take a darker turn and it’s no longer just a laugh. A dark, lyrical tale of teenage tragedy, The Captain of the School Football Team is a dizzying journey through the irrevocable events of one summer’s day.

"The language has a delicious rhythmic quality, depicting school life and sincere tragedy."

"And we'll be safe in this home. Safe away from all of that outside. Because there's nothing out there for us anyway."

Dan and Violet sit in a room telling each other stories, hiding from the world outside.
