| Summary |
An early work of Howard Brenton, first produced in 1969, 'Christie in Love' is based on the true events surrounding the interrogation and execution of serial killer John Reginald Christie. Brenton's disturbing writing portrays a stupidly aggressive police force dealing with a pathetically tormented man. Contrasting the everyday, ordinary demeanour of the killer with the disgusting, extra-ordinary atrocities he committed, Brenton asks what makes any of us different from that man and what is stopping us from becoming like him? |
