Elliot and Jennifer begin to doubt the strength of their marriage and the relevance of themselves to one another when faced with the question of desire.
‘Redundant’ was originally written as an hour long stage-play and formed part of Matthew R. Ford’s final project piece for his Masters in Creative Writing.
Since completing his studies, Matthew has adapted the play into a 30 minute short film screenplay and auditions for the three roles available will be held sometime in August for scheduled filming in november of this year.
‘Redundant’ is an ambitious work, taking place in one location throughout and featuring only three characters, it relies on the writing and soon, the acting, to carry the story through.
‘Redundant’ is a claustrophobic journey, subtly tinged with surreality that explores the true nature of co-existence.
Aspects of the original play were published in Birmingham City Universities annual new-writing anthology, entitled ‘Ink and Paper’ and the play itself earned some glowing praise form national dramaturges;
“A highly claustrophobic drama that has terrible intensity. Beautiful subtext, subtle and never obvious. Remarkable work”
“An original voice who understands “the rules” but has a way of subverting them in a creative way. The writing shows sensitivity and strength and has the audience at the heart of it.”
