Savage in Limbo (1989)

By John Patrick Shanley, British Première at the Gate Theatre Notting Hill.
Music Soundtrack by Mick Ford and Robert Hickson, Robert also directed.

Set in a down-at-heel bar in New York, Denise Savage, disaffected and angry, bemoans her empty life, as do all the other four characters in this tragi-comedy by Oscar-winning Shanley. All are 32 years old, feeling their age and fearful of their futures. The music simply played in the beginning and played out the end of the play. It’s dreamlike, flowing, with more than a nod to Philip Glass and Terry Riley.
