'Gorgeous Avatar' - Traverse Theatre
Life in the country; work from home, chill out, keep chickens . . . surely every stressed out city person’s dream? For Amy, it’s a nightmare. Bothered by her nosy neighbours and pestered by her pushy Paris client, the Web offers an easy escape. But when her Internet chat mate, Rafi, is due to arrive from New York, a seemingly idyllic life in a Borders farm cottage is put to the test and she finds more companionship and excitement in the virtual world than in the real one. Amy wonders what Rafi will be like, her imagination fuelled by images from films. A suave Clark Gable? A cheery cowboy? Their meeting is played out in increasingly improbable scenarios and as her grasp on reality starts to break up, she is forced to confront a world outside her gorgeous avatar. Another brilliant play, this time by Jules Home, from Traverse Thetare, at the forefront of new Scottish writing.Date: 10/06/06
