| Summary |
First produced at the Cottesloe Theatre in 1995, 'The Blue Ball' attempts to comprehend the experience of space travel. Paul Godfrey visited centres of space travel in America and Russia to research 'The Blue Ball'. His conversations with astronauts inspired the play and are partly replicated within it, as his interviews are weaved into the story of a fictional first man in space. It is an imaginative investigation of a culture in which the wondrous is rendered mundane, what seems commonplace is rendered absurd, and no-one ever stops asking, Ẁhat is it like?' |
