Title: Weldon rising
Description: First produced in Liverpool in 1992, 'Weldon Rising' is a startling, surreal and incandescent play about 4 people in a heatwave, and a murder. Trapped in a city on heat, Weldon's boyfriend has been stabbed, an incident witnessed and re-enacted by 2 neighbourhood lesbians, whose own relationship floods the stage in tandem with the main event, with further commentary provided by an outrageous transvestite. The rising heat is accompanied by radio reports of a plane exploding, a bus melting, and all the bridges collapsing: Nagy presents a city in meltdown in which the characters are cast adrift, but bravely trying to reclaim the world and each other.
