"ABOVE BORED"
A police interrogation room. A woman has been detained for questioning after her boss is found dead in suspicious circumstances. In a room down the hall, her colleague also awaits an interview. Just routine questions. Just routine. But what if the monotony of routine was responsible for pushing one of them over the edge? When does bored become bored to death? After all, perhaps it’s not unusual for employees of an adhesive supply company to feel a little … stuck.
"Above Bored" is an original psychological drama with a wide streak of dark comedy, written by Charlotte Bister and Daniel Richards ("Wrongdoings" and "Wake-Up Calls at the Stop-Off Motel") and directed by Simon Harvey (Kneehigh, o-region). A captivating two-hander where the actors double as both cops and suspects, ‘Owdyado present a character-driven piece about two individuals who, on the surface appear to be happy, diligent employees. However, in the midst of the claustrophobia of the interrogation room and the persistent questioning of two sharp-witted detectives, cracks in their façade begin to appear - cracks that hint at underlying disillusionment and resentment. |
"Above Bored" focuses on dialogue rather than physical action to create status and tension. The script marks a new stage of exploration in writing style for ‘Owdyado, this third full-length show putting an emotional narrative at the centre whilst retaining the quirks and plot twists associated with their previous work. "Above Bored" is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
