presents the world premiere of Queue
Queue – we all have to do it. Join this one to discover how order can lead to disorder in a supposedly rational system... segments or juice? Seat yourself in the sub-wait as we explore this strange yet common occurrence. Cast includes BA Acting graduates. Written by Collene Louisa Webb, Queue is a mixture of drama and comedy/satire, with the general feel of ab
surd theatre. Collene has taken inspiration from personal experiences, news articles and Harold Pinter’s style. In one moment, Queue is quite ridiculous, but in the next it is true to life and explores our convention of queuing on a deeper level. Queuing situations from the traffic jam to the telephone to the ‘truly remarkable’ handkerchief at the museum which everyone wants to see, and many more. The playwright contemplates the themes of time versus money, loneliness in a crowd and how society’s obsession with politeness can compromise fairness. Queue is an intimate three-hander where the actors perform five diverse characters each. There is also a voice-over actor and some original music composed by the playwright. is a group of emerging theatre and music professionals, newly formed by Collene Webb and Rebecca Hulse, who both graduate with a BA (Hons) in Acting this summer. Performing alongside them is actor Robert Lehmann who is currently training at CSSD, as well as voice-overs by Elaine Hickman. The sound/lighting designers and technicians will be Vickie Bull and Liam Kelly, who are also graduating this summer with a BA (Hons) in Theatre Design & Production. Join the Queue and West Horizons Co. at International 2, Sweet Grassmarket, previews from 2nd to 4th and performance run from 6th to 17th August.
