Theatre West

other

a commentary by david carter

other: adjective (in mod usage also classed as a determiner) pronoun, noun & adverb.

every other do the other a bit of the other the other one other than the other world otherwhere othertimes otherplaces the other night the other day the other side… go in one ear and out the other.

other: a character in a play 'the voice that keeps silent'. An unscripted character.

I & you are the other characters in the play: They have a script to follow, but are still at the mercy of other's contribution.

other: has her cues ... but what she does with them is entirely up to her.

why? I wanted to experiment with the process of making a play. I wanted something organic and spontaneous. I wanted to capture the tension of a live performance where, to a degree, anything can happen.
