"I was looking for love and I found love, but heaven knows I'm miserable now…"

HALF A PERSON: MY LIFE AS TOLD BY THE SMITHS
A play by Alex Broun
Directed by Robert Chuter
with
David Forster as William

William is too smart for his long black drinking, tight jeans wearing, emo hairstyle sporting, ‘The Smiths’ worshipping good. He only exists to devour coffee, despise ’people’ and worship the patron saint of wrist-slashing -Steven Patrick Morrissey. Just like his Idol the world he occupies is cruelly lonely. He stumbles from café to cemetery in search of a companion or maybe just a confidant. He runs headlong into Salome; the obtuse, obstructive, agent of seduction that slithers her way into his addictive personality where she infatuates herself remorselessly. Meanwhile, the best friend that he never knew he might not have one day, Rick, is struggling with his own desire for William and his dwindling mortality. William is confined in a terrible triangle; the girl of his dreams treats him like dirt, his best friend is in love with him and on top of this, the Smiths have broken up. A beautifully dark, blackly funny and painfully touching play set to the music of The Smiths, the music that gives William a chance to be more than just, ‘Half A Person.’
