Waiting For Hate Mail

Waiting for Hate Mail (Logo)

By Mark Akrill 

Joe Brewer is at the terminal waiting to meet the son he never knew existed. But the flight is delayed. For hours. For days. And instead what arrives is hate mail. From the students he teaches, from the woman he loved, from a neo-fascist organisation.  

Set in an airport and in the inside of Joe’s head, Waiting for Hate Mail charts a man’s descent into madness. It is a play about racism, memory, loss, fear and forgiveness. A funny and uplifting journey through the inside of all our heads. 

 Both hilarious and devastatingly sad, this piece possesses an unapologetic truth that will hit you right in the heart … evocative of the work of both Dario Fo and Franz Kafka.” – DLC Reviews

”Mark treads in the footsteps of all those iconic artists before him who have transformed pain and ugliness into a remarkable piece of art. This is a devastating, tornado of a performance.” – Luke Stevenson
