Learning on ScreenOne of These Days
- Synopsis
- Video recording, using a single, fixed camera of a play reading of Leo Butler’s play One of These Days, commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company for The Complete Works Festival. A dark love story, written in response to The Tempest and set in occupied Ireland in 1775. Knowing that her soldier lover is leaving for England, a local woman unleashes a sequence of events that will result in tragedy for both their children. The play examines what happens when a brutal foreign power is in intimate and callous contact with the primitive heart of an ancient society.
