With a superbly imaginative script by Neil Noon, Black Curtain is a new play about a mediocre actor and a monstrous writer trapped in an experimental breakdown of a rehearsed reading. Backstage the writer is furiously rewriting the script of their co-dependency as the reading unfolds, while left alone onstage the actor struggles to keep up.
George Dillon performed the play as a work-in-progress, directed by Mark Hewitt, at the Marlborough Theatre in Brighton and at the Soho Theatre in October / November 2018.
