Some Flood is a new play by John Doran and Kevin Mooney. This is John’s first full play. Previously, he was one of the writers behind Shakespeare In Bits. Kevin has previously co-written our radio version of The War Of The Worlds for which he won a PPI Award.
Some Flood was devised from a series of deluded, suspicious conversations in 2012. At that time, rumours of apocalyptic catastrophes were rife. From Tectonic plates to Mayan Calendars to Hadron Colliders; we subscribed to them all. We hoped to catalogue these doomsday prophecies, break them down, and then relay them to an audience in an accurate, but simple, way. Some Flood is the failed result of this. Instead, Noah was born. The wrong man to survive the apocalypse. Watch him stagger and fumble through a global catastrophe, while attempting to deal with conspiracy and paranoia at a personal level. As he struggles with his own isolation, delusion and neurosis he attempts to define the great pandemic surrounding him. And any other phenomenons that he happens to think of. Noah is a danger unto himself. With no one left to help him, what chance does he have? – Kevin Mooney
Some Flood has been devised, developed and performed by John and Kevin for nearly 18 months now. It’s looking in fine shape and we’re looking forward to see it hit the finish line of stage!
