O MARK RAVENHILL'S new play comes to Blackpool for


its only date in the North-West. In his acerbic new offering, the writer turns the spotlight on


modern living, bringing together half a dozen people with their own individual cocktails of love, honour, happiness, sex and


money. The characters central to the plot are urban legend Nick, a


former political activist who has been released from prison after, more than a decade and is struggling to come to terms with '90s Britain; Nadia, a go-go dancer who is trying to escape a violent and abusive relationship; Tim, who is taking happy pills and teams up with boy-dancer Victor; Jonathan, who seems to be saving the world and Helen, a battle-weary local councillor. 9 Some Explicit Polaroids is on a t the Grand Theatre,


Blackpool from now until Saturday, December 4th. To catch up with the action, call the ticket office on 01253 290190.
