ROCK OF AGES: SEEMON 9.‘Aslong aslwakeupand clutch mydiaryinthe morning. I hope I'm alright.‘ says Robin Lindsay Wilson. This is notjust paranoia—though he didin Iacteven runto checkhis diary betore comingtothe phone—he is simply one ot the busiestmen atMaytest. He is directing notewer thantive plays atthe Glasgow Arts Centre. hasa playbeingpertormed by TAG at the Garden Festival and his first play. Rockot Ages. being toured by Annexe Theatre Company. Nonetheless. he had lost none othisinitial enthusiasmtorthe play's subjectwhen he cameto talkto me. RockotAgestirstbegan one nightwhenhe came home and couldtind nothing ontelevision buta Western. ‘I‘m notatanot Westerns and alllactually saw wasthe ending. with the cavalryleavingthis wounded guy behind as the credits rolled up. lthought. what could be going on in his head. and l thoughtthat was wherethetilm should have started. notended.‘ So he wrote a play. beginning with that image— RockolAges exploresthe situation of a white soldier.
marriedtoanlndian woman. whobecomes involved inthe Sand Creek massacre otthe Cheyenne. As he runsthrough his past in his head. he beginsto cometoterms with his position. ‘I warmed to him as | beganto write it.'says Wilson. ‘He'sa productot histime. buthe'sgoing through a slow aching progresstowards realisation otwhathe's done]
The situation inthe play hadmanyparallelsin reality. Wilson discovered duringresearch. Many white soldiers were married to Indians. andwere caught in an intolerable position of divided loyalties. ‘The massacretookplace becausethe military descisions were made in the mid-West. so orders were sentoutthatwere
completely againstthe grain otwhatwasgoing on.’ explains Wilson. This does notabsolve his character. however. ‘He does enter intoitwillingly. because ol peergroup pressure. He wantsto appearthe same preciselybecause he's marriedtoanlndian. He's tornbetweentwo cultures.‘
Wilsonhopesthe play may go some waytowards redressingtheimbalanced viewputtorwardin Westerns. ‘Theplayis optimisticinavery strange way—andthatprogress embraces Christianity.’ explains Wilson. ‘He loses laith in God as he goes over his pastand he realisesthat Iinallywe've all gottogrow upandtace whatwe‘ve done. We killedtheButtan. it'sabouttaking responsibilityreally.‘ (S.H.)
