New play announced alongside cast for Greenwich Theatre’s BAD NIGHTS AND ODD DAYS

A fourth production by acclaimed playwright Caryl Churchill has been added to the previously announced season of short plays, Bad Nights and Odd Days, at Greenwich Theatre from 23 June-10 July 2021.

The dystopian tale, Not Not Not Not Not Enough Oxygen will feature alongside Churchill’s unforgettable works, Abortive, Seagulls, and Three More Sleepless Nights, reenergising an inspired anthology for the stage. 

Taking on multiple roles across the four productions, directed by Artistic Director James Haddrell, will be Paul McGann (Withnail and I; Doctor Who), Kerrie Taylor (The Bay; Where The Heart Is), Bonnie Baddoo, Dan Gaisford, Gracy Goldman and Verna Vyas.

Bad Nights and Odd Days explores the darker side of Caryl Churchill’s work, with life shattering events, a carousel of shifting relationships and the presence of psychic phenomena.  This intimate collection of plays shows why it is so hard to categorise Churchill’s writing,  blending the personal with the political, the naturalistic with the supernatural, the spoken with  the unspoken.

Not Not Not Not Not Enough Oxygen foretells a future of ecological and economic destruction whose residents dream of a less polluted life; Abortive highlights the strains of a married couple reeling in the aftermath of a shocking event; Three More Sleepless Nights details the everyday arguments and daily suppression of emotions; while Seagulls is Churchill’s powerful and personal allegory about losing the ability to write.

Director James Haddrell said: “In consultation with Caryl Churchill we are delighted to have added a fourth play to the line-up for Bad Nights and Odd Days. With a cast led by Paul McGann  and Kerrie Taylor, the programme now includes a special new production of Not Not Not Not Not  Enough Oxygen, a frighteningly prescient view of the future in which even the air we breathe has  become a commodity.”
