“Crash” – Ian Gouge

CrashIan Gouge (published 11th June 2023)

What happens during the last thirty minutes of your life as you struggle to wake from sleep one final time?

Does the entirety of your life indeed ‘flash before your eyes’, or are there just a few random incidents and moments which insist on being replayed and resolved?

And when these too eventually begin to dissolve, what then…?

Attempting to explore a fresh and flexible poetic style, Crash was partly inspired by the work of T.S.Eliot and Samuel Beckett.

Crash was first performed by the author in its final form as a dramatic monologue at the Ripon Theatre Festival, 2023.
