DRAWING BORED Oran Mor, Glasgow, until Sat 9 Sep: The Jam House. Edinburgh, Mon 11 Sep—Sat 16 Sep 0000
For the second play in this autumn‘s A Play, A Pie and a Pint season, Daniel Jackson (and director Liz Lochhead) bring the world of the comic writer to squalid life. Jackson is no stranger to the art, writing the Glasgow Fabulous and Ubiquitous Girl strips for The List among others. Ted (Grant
Smeaton) is a burnt out illustrator churning out the likes of ‘Gonorrhea Girl‘
for Scottish Executive safe sex pamphlets. When his ex-writing partner
Max (Stewart Porter) returns from a hugely successful stint in the US (as the man who turned Superman black), old grudges are rekindled. Meanwhile Laura (Lisa Gardner). the young artist who shares Ted‘s studio.
displays more intelligence than either of the two old hacks can muster.
While there are definitely some moments that will strike a chord more readily with those who grew up reading the many exploits of various caped crusaders, this is not merely a play for comic aficionados. The comics world forms the backdrop to a blackly comic tale of missed opportunities, resentment and loneliness. Smeaton and Porter bring just the right level of absurdity and despair to their roles to create a strangely intimate insight
into the politics and personality behind creativity. (Henry Northmore)
