 WALKOUT!
by Murray Watts
Performed: July and November 2002 at Portsmouth Arts Centre, Reginald Road,
Southsea; Godshill, Isle of Wight; and All Saints Church, Catherington.
Originally performed on BBC Radio 4 in 1988 and toured by
Riding Lights Theatre Company in 1993, this play by Murray Watts based on John Bunyan's classic Pilgrim's Progress, sees a 21st century Christian travel from the shopping malls
and lock-up garages of the modern-day City of Destruction in his search for spiritual satisfaction.
Among those he meets on the way are updated versions of
Bunyan's timeless characters: Mr Worldly-Wiseman, Vain-Confidence and the corrupt traders of Vanity Fair. Will Christian make it all the way from this world to the next?
