The Rape of Europe

The fifth in the Gengis series of satires- this one, taking the form of a Hammer Style Dracula yarn, including a Romanian Palace of Lightbulbs, is about the capitalist tyranny that swallows up the whole of Europe making slaves of its low-paid workers- yes you guessed it, the European Union, and its barefaced mechanism that replace democracy with unelected government by appointment. This is one play you can definately guarrantee you wont be seeing anytime soon at the Royal Court. In fact they did have a reading, right there in the belly of the beast, upstairs at the Royal Court, and it was popular with most of the audience but not of course with the management whose conventional bourgeoise views upon the subject were suitably outraged. This play was actually commissioned by a Belgian theatre company, of all things, and was found to be too much for their delecate nationalist sensibilities and dreams of Belgian aggrandisement, and was not performed.
