Known for his dark disturbing dramas, Ridley's “Leaves Of Glass” is a deeply human drama that shifts between elegy for the past and a chilling exploration of the power of loss and grief.

A sharp, complex play about two brothers and the grim hold that their memories have on them. Barry is an artist who works for his older brother Stephen; Stephen is a successful business man with a beautiful wife and house, but absolutely no interest in his wife’s pregnancy. A series of flashback monologues describe the brothers’ father and his suicide, and slowly uncovers the depths of their grief and trauma. The characters of the play are haunted by the ghosts of lies that the family has told to keep going, and by the pain they have not been able to bury.

Cast:
Stephen (27)
Barry (22)
Debbie (33)
Liz (55)
(Note: Ages are an indication only)

“Leaves Of Glass” takes place in a variety of locations and spanning many months. It has seventeen scenes, no interval and a run time of around two hours.

“…like a shard of glass plunged straight into the heart” –  The Guardian
“…truly an emotional powerhouse of a play, I feel the real weight of Ridley’s words right to my core” - The Scribe

Auditioning is a hard thing to do. As a fresh graduate, I went into so many auditions that I have already lost count. At first, I really hated the feeling. I am not someone who has the guts to just continue to and fail every single time. Sure, it is okay to fail, in fact, it means that you can still do better, but that does not mean that you can have a mindset towards failing. It is okay to fail, but never plan to fail.

I appreciate your efforts to do for those people who are a failure for getting their goal, but you gave them new courage and new thoughts to try again and again,
