PRODUCTION NOTES

Photo Gallery >

Nick is released from prison into New Labour Britain to find a truly global world that makes little sense. His first contact is with ex-lover Helen, like him a former activist.

But she's changed too, and now she makes the buses run on time and has the odd lesbian fling.

Nick falls for lapdancer Nadia, who is enduring a relationship she scarcely cares about, and who is unable to get to grips with the whys and wherefores of life.

She lives with Tim, a gay man whose hedonism has come full circle. But his made-to-order fun boy Victor doesn't seem keen on feelings.

And does Jonathan hold the key to explaining life, the universe and everything?

Mark Ravenhill, author of the explosive Shopping and Fucking, hints that these people's lives are as they are not by accident but by sickening design, and investigates how people cope with winning and losing in the new global village.

Some Explicit Polaroids was first produced by Out Of Joint in 1999, and this new production by Chelsea Players makes use of multimedia.

Warning: Contains explicit adult scenes, language and themes.
