From the writer of Great Britain comes a brutal tale of colonial dystopia
Richard Bean's brutal new play imagines life for Fletcher Christian and his crew of rebels after the infamous Mutiny on the Bounty, as they sail for and land on the previously uncharted island of Pitcairn.
A dark insight into colonial times, Bean's new production picks up the story of Fletcher Christian and his crew as they attempt to colonise a little-known island in the South Pacific they called Pitcairn. Living cheek by jowl with the indigenous Tahiti population, racial, sexual and social tensions soon rear their heads and threaten to plunge the newly colonised land into a bloody civil war. Their land of promise transforms quickly into a dystopian nightmare as the invaders realise that freedom comes at a price.
The newcomers, reluctant to give up their piratical vices of women and booze find themselves at odds with the local rulers, as they seize the local women and attempt to corrupt the population. But Pitcairn asks - should one's personal freedom come first before the public responsibility to the people you have colonised?
