Burn and Rosalind by Deborah Gearing
Burn: This is the story of Birdman. Fifteen years old, no family, no friends - a loner with nothing to lose. One lazy afternoon, down on the riverbank, the friends he never had narrate the story of his last dramatic day. First performed at the National Theatre as part of the NTShell Connections programme, this powerful and inspiring play is a unique portrait of teenage life, drawn with startling and refreshing honesty Rosalind: Esther thinks science is fantastic, but her brother Joe is unconvinced. Then Rosalind appears and they find themselves in the middle of an experiment - the experiment of her life. Rosalind: A Question of Life tells the story of a passionate scientist who helps to discover the structure of DNA only to be written out of the history books. A moving and brilliantly theatrical exploration of ambition and regret.
Deborah Gearing's plays include Burn and Safe for the RNT, Rosalind for Birmingham Rep and The Cage for the Nuffield, Southampton. She works as a director on community projects and has a particular interest in arts and mental health. She studied languages and is also a translator.
