Friday 18th September:
SAFETY in NUMBERS by Adam Francis
Two trainspotters are poised on a platform, eagerly anticipating the arrival of an elusive train. The Z307 will complete their trainspotting book. As they reflect on the enormity of their seemingly banal quest, they need and needle each other, exposing Trainspotter 1’s narcissistic trait of being both the torturer and rescuer of his acquaintance, and Trainspotter 2’s allotted role of victim. As the rumbling of the train tracks grows in frequency, the two men are interrupted by the arrival of a Worker who holds up a figurative mirror to their inadequacies. Defending their honour and purpose, they retaliate, unpicking the Worker’s own insipidity and trivial life. When the Worker protests his importance, it seems that only the arrival of the Z307 can calm the waters. The three of them now wait, too afraid of what lies beyond their platform. The play scrutinises Man’s desire for independence, power and hierarchy, while exposing our yearning to belong, no matter what the cost.
