  • SEDATED BY A BRICK PRESENT SERRATED BY A KNIFE PRESENT SEDATED BY A BRICK (SBABSKABSBAB)

    Sedated By A Brick are accidentally possessed by their imaginary alter-ego theatre company, Serrated By A Knife. Both companies have been struggling to put the finishing touches to their astonishing productions of The Shining, which they hope one day to present to an actual, real live audience.

    An over-production of words most lovely in its malignancy.

    Bernard Manning is dead. Kate Bush is a recluse. Elton John is threatening to don his divine lawsuit.

    Will this collision of identities result in the ultimate meta-fiction or everyone dying in the cold of cabin fever?

    At least three versions of the play will be fighting it out for survival, and by the end of the show we will have tried to set fire to it, explode it, delete it and dispose of it, but will realise too late it is built on an indian burial ground and just will not go away.

  • IF DESTROYED STILL TRUE


    Sedated By A Brick     present a pathological performance.

    Ten seconds of blood to the brain.

    A silent figure manipulates two lifeless bodies, trying to revive them; forcing breath into their lungs, dressing and undressing them, pressing cups of tea to their unresponsive lips.

    As the bodies are resuscitated, the knot of his reality unravels and they begin to exert their control over the quiet man and his world.

    Sedated by a Brick make “alien, David Lynch-like” work (Ed Rapley).

    This piece marks two years of thinking, talking and moving.

    Supported by Theatre Bristol and Tobacco Factory Theatre’s Prototype Initiative.
