COVER STORY On the ve er rg ge Known for his own brand of theatre and very particular style, producer and playwright ADRIAN BUCKLE is preparing to unveil his latest play – COLLAPSE. here he talKs ANABEL ATTARD through the intricate process of bringing this production to life. producer and playwright adrian buckle doesn’t do things by halves. his theatre company unifaun is known for everything from harrowing pieces like Blasted, Lampedusa and Olly’s Prison, to lighter shows like the Lying Kind and the recent Long Lost First Play. he approaches each of his productions with gusto and will stop at nothing to ensure they’re presented in a manner that suits his vision: his is quality theatre that asks important questions and leaves its audience with something to think about. his upcoming play promises to be no different, although adrian has been more involved in this script than ever. yes he’s written plays before, but none of them have been quite like Collapse. “i have been on such a long journey with Collapse,” he says. “in fact, it all started back in 2010.” back then, the playwright says he was very angry about “the Stitching issue – when censors banned the production from being staged. “i was facing an artistic block; i couldn’t think and i couldn’t create.” it was around the same time that he started working in a school for boys with difficult backgrounds, teaching drama through storytelling and improvisation, concentrating on The Lord of The Flies. “it was through their creativity that i was motivated again, and that’s when collapse started to take form – although it was just a puddle of angry words at the time, and hardly a play script.” in fact, he soon abandoned his writings again and it was only when award-winning international playwright edward bond came to Malta to work on a project with adrian that he decided to take another stab at finishing it. “it was then that i passed it on to american director dave barton – who will be directing the show in Malta – for his advice. he made his recommendations and suggested i take a look at grimm’s tales for further inspiration, which was a fantastic idea. the script has changed countless time since than but with dave’s help i believe it now fullyformed and ready to be staged.” adrian enjoyed the process of writing and rewriting, especially with dave offering advice from california. it’s a progression that he says he missed out on when working on his previous script Unintended (which was staged in 2017), which he simply wrote and took to the stage. “i was happy with Unintended but, having gone through an editing process on Collapse, i can really see the value of it.” it’s poignant, of course, that dave – following his on-going involvement – will now be travelling to Malta to bring the show to life, supported by the It wouldn’t be my work if there weren’t a few controversial elements thrown in 4Sunday Circle ∫ JANUARY 2018
