Interview with Alexander Zeldin on Process, edited by Faye Merralls

Synopsis'He is a Chekhov of our time: holding his characters with as much humanity, compassion, humor and love - but without holding back his scathing indictment of deeply entrenched, systemic injustices and inequities.' - David Schwimmer The Inequalities combines three plays from British author and director Alexander Zeldin into a trilogy that tells new stories of love, compassion and resilience for our time of austerity. Contextualised with an essay before each play and an in-depth interview with the author, Zeldin's three pieces present intimate stories of work, home and community in a radical form of realism. Written after extensive research across the United Kingdom, and involving people affected by the central themes of the plays, The Inequalities goes beyond social chronicle, achieving a timeless portrait of humanity under duress. This is theatre that goes behind the mirror of our time to reveal the core of the collective human experience of being alive. Beyond Caring: "This desolate, quietly intense devised drama gets under your skin and into your bones... unforgettable." ( The Times ) LOVE: "Gripping, amusing, uncomfortable, desperately moving. Zeldin shows us friction...but also kindness and dignity and lots of love without turning sugary." ( The Times ) Faith, Hope and Charity: "This is that rare thing: a necessary play that suggests Zeldin has taken on the role of the Victorian Henry Mayhew in compassionately documenting the lives of the urban poor." ( The Guardian )
