+
Andrew Obey's "The Ark", presented by South London Theatre Centre last week, retells the biblical story of the Flood in modern terms, as a homely family drama wherein Mr & Mrs Noah, with their three sons and three female companions on board, take to the waters.
+
 
+
The play's focal point of conflict has to do with duty; the duty of a son to his father, or of man to God.
+
 
+
After drifting helplessly for 40 days, trusting in God for deliverance, the rebel son Ham builds sail and rudder, and stirs up a revolt against his father. But the dove arrives from distant Mount Ararat in the nick of time, and Ham's revolt is scotched.
+
 
+
What Obey seems to be saying is the blind faith will prevail over science. If so, he says it in a singularly ham-fisted (pardon the pun) way, as for example: "You're asking for a thrashing, and don't think you are too old for me to give it to you."
+
 
+
Under the direction of Frances Nelson (Assisted by Paul Keen), S.L.T.C. gave three performances of the play in Neighbouring Nettlefold hall. Acoustics, visibility and atmosphere were all below par and this mini-Chichester (as I heard it described), and the production had to struggle hard to establish its identity.
