Playwright David Eldridge: The only way is Essex

With pieces of children addicted to heroin and the truck, David Eldridge moved the wrecking ball in the class bias in the theater. But his greatest conflicts with the same

over the past 15 years, David Eldridge has had plays represented in the National Assembly, Royal Court, Donmar Warehouse, Bush and Hampstead theaters. It's an impressive list, and could lead rivals to see 38 years of age, as a darling of art directors -., But Eldridge suffered massive Reject

last year, the Dawa file a response to concerns about terrorism, created in Hampstead, for the National Eldridge said, "despised and rejected", as did the Royal Court. Court had staged their acts of kindness and incomplete random (2005), which explores the consequences of a murder, but only after canceling another generation, when the art director, then, Ian Rickson, and literary editor, Graham Whybrow, has been read and has lost confidence in the script.

Theatre gossip suggested that the absence of another work of Eldridge Royal Court on the list so far (the artistic director Dominic Cooke will lead out his new play, Basildon) was due to production electricity and outside, with a reconciliation is only possible under a new art. The playwright, who considers each question with eyes fixed concentration of a tennis player receiving and served thoughtful pause before replying, said that this rumor is false. "I was upset with the Court at the time, but I never stayed with them. Ian Rickson is a member of my greatest. I was a little off at first, but you just have to be optimistic about these things. The world is full of rejection for writers. They put the work in time. "The text on the scene has changed little since he had caused cold feet, and Eldridge insists that will not fall." I was asked to write another work of the Court, but I was working at Boy domestic market. "

Eldridge traveled from Lancashire, where he now lives, testing in South London, although he and his latest book - which becomes the tensions between the three generations of a family of working class During two decades, remain strong accent from Romford in Essex, where he grew up, which are its roots. Several times, he said: "I want to write pieces for the connoisseur."

Eldridge covers this subject in the preface to the Works 2, an anthology of his recent work, published this week. (Edward Bond was a hero of literary principles and share a predilection for playwrights introductions to books of combat.) The new collection includes Eldridge Boy market, an overview of the Thatcher era around the market in 80 years in Romford Nicholas Hytner controlled and directed by Olivier National Stadium (the largest) in 2006. In his introduction the author explains that he wanted to write "a play against the National Theatre ... to transform a wrecking ball in the pre-existing ideas and indulgent as he made a game or a state of Olivier-playing nation at the time. "He began to write the opposite of what kind of theater," probably written by David Hare, "with its gentle connoisseurs Guardian editorial style liberal moral message to the theater."

Does Hytner support this mission? "Yes, more or less said." And admit that this was a match against David Hare? "Oh, no, no. It was not. I gave as an example the work of the state of the nation that had preceded it. I have no problem with David at all." However, despite this brilliant diplomat, it seems a clear argument and ferocious in their comments about Hare and elsewhere, with the class bias of the English stage.

"Yes," Eldridge agrees. "I have an argument with that. It was very, very important for me to hear people like me on stage Olivier. If you say that theater is a national theater, he must be national as possible the point of Mercado Chico -. and to some extent in Basildon as well - is that these people had always been under-represented on the stage. " He was happy when the investigation revealed that 30% of the audience NT Market Boy was their first and postal codes provided by online bookers that "there were a number of Basildon."


radar pings and blips class by writing Eldridge is complicated by the fact that technically it was a public school. With the help of a scholarship, studied at 500 years, Brentwood, Essex, where, as he points out, went to "Jack Straw, Noel Edmonds and Frank Lampard." It was a class issue? "It was for me. I felt that I am. I realized recently that I've always loved cricket, because even if I have my free school uniform, my mother and my father had to pay for sports . And that was not too bad in terms of winter ... Michaelmas and Lent, but in summer, cricket kit has both Even at the age of 12 years, I could feel the arguments about money in my back, and I've never been able to get rid of my hatred for the game.
