Title: Stages
Description: In 'Stages', the life story of Richard Fenchurch, an ageing artist and writer, is unwound as his sanity unravels. He tells his story, remembering details and revealing secrets as visitors, both apparently real and obviously imagined - his ex-wife, daughter, former lover, neighbour, psychiatrist - enter the stage uninvited to play their part, either reliving past events or trying bravely to secure his future in the face of his disintegrating mental health. A delicate chamber piece, 'Stages' premiered at the National Theatre, London, in November 1992.
