David and Lisa
Assistant Director: Tommy Penner
Assistant Director: Emily Morgan
David, only son of wealthy parents, over-protected by a dominating mother, is tortured by his mania against being touched. And Lisa, the waif who has never known parental love, who has developed a split personality and is in effect two different girls, one of whom will only speak in childish rhymes and insists on being spoken to in the same manner. The play follows them during the course of one term at Barkley School, where they have come under the sympathetic and understanding guidance of psychiatrist Alan Swinford and his staff, follows them through exhilarating progress and depressing retrogression. Included are their fellow students: Carlos, the street urchin, the over-romantic Kate, stout Sandra who is unloved and unwanted by her glamorous father and step-mother, and others. With laughter, heartbreak and suspense, the continuous absorption of an authentic and well-told story about problems that are totally unfamiliar to most of us. The production is extremely simple; it is played against drapes using a minimum of props.
