LUCY BLACK
                           by Paul Gilchrist

24 May – 3 June 2012 

Bloody, bawdy, beautiful – a renaissance tale.

With Paul Gilchrist’s latest work Lucy Black, subtlenuance returns to the fabulously exotic pseudo-historical world of their 2009 underground hit Catherine at Avignon.

 

“a triumph of narrative construction...like Stoppard, Gilchrist is great

with words...Catherine at Avignon is a significant achievement in writing

direction and staging” Media Culture

“poetic and whimsical and wickedly funny” Alternative Media Group

 

Set in an imagined renaissance world, Lucy Black is sexy, passionate and thought-provoking.

Lucy’s physician father is gone. She scrapes together a living through her skerricks of medical lore. She watches with concern as her exuberant younger sister makes her first steps into adulthood.

And these are troubled times. Strangers have appeared in the village. One makes an extraordinary suggestion. Dangerous, illegal, but very lucrative, Lucy considers the plan, unaware of its shocking cost.
