A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A Theatrescience play in association with the Eden Project supported by the Wellcome Trust and Arts Council England. Theatrescience has been commissioning and producing new plays by UK and Indian playwrights for the past eight years, using drama and theatre to explore some of the ethical, personal, political and economic issues raised by advances in biomedical science. State of Nature is partially set in a tropical forest. Patrick has an aggressive form of dementia: Lewy Body. When his niece, Louise, comes to live with him and care for him it is both an act of love and a research project. Patrick's life, in his large, rambling house in the Cornish countryside, is shot through with another world of memory - of the Naxalbari Uprising in India, where his commitment to radical politics brought him together with the love of his life. As the division between past and present disintegrates, Patrick's inner world refuses to be contained, and breaks out all around him.
