Sunday Play: The Theif

On the morning of the 29th November 2005, a black plastic case containing an amanoiwabue (a natural stone flute) belonging to the sound artist Akio Suzuki disappeared from the luggage rack of an Amsterdam bound train from Paris Gare du Nord. The seat number was 55, carriage number 18. By the time the theft was noticed the train had already passed Antwerp but the case may have been stolen before the train left the Gare du Nord. This is the tale of the theif.

A play written by Johny Brown. For more info please visit johny@johny.co.uk or contact: johnybrown46@yahoo.co.uk

  • The Theif was performed live in the ResonanceFM studio on 7th April 2007.
  • The Theif was played by Joanna Pickering
  • The Angel was played by Samuel Collings
  • The music was provided by Howard Jaques and Johny Brown and it was produced by Alisdair McGregor

At time of broadcast, the stone flute remains missing. This play was written and performed in the hope that it can jog someone’s memory and reunite the stone with it’s rightful guardian.

Shine on.

Hooting Yard : Whirling Tangle Of Peasants

“Now and again, it will do you a power of good to spend a Wednesday morning tramping along a high ridge, blowing a trumpet and waving a banner. If you can persuade others to join you, so much the better. It will not matter if you are tuneless and raggle-taggle – the experience itself can pump vital energy into your blood, oxygenating your brain and feeding crucial nutriments into your integuments.”

Hooting Yard : A Man Without A Ditch

We all know that there was an age known as the Epoch of Snares, but it is surprising how little is generally known about it. This was a time when giant badger-like beings roamed the hills of the earth, when the oceans were deeper, darker, and more terrifying than they are now, and when only the very bravest of souls volunteered to crew the enormous primitive container ships that plied across those seas.
