Clootie's Cover

A few million heads are missing in Heaven. Strange scratches and signs appear all over the place. God and St Peter are forced to investigate some decidedly odd doings on the third planet and come up against Clootie, the old man of the village... Hold on to your aureoles!A 30 minute 5 character play about a possible near future scenario where the UK is riven by civil strife and there are plans for an overthrow of the Government by the military and an expulsion of all Muslims. However, to do this the military must first raise tension levels to the point of hatred towards the Muslim population and they do this by undertaking an unprecedented action.The play is very current and though the scenario is set sometime in the near future it is by no means futuristic. Many of the issues in the work resonate right now and it is hoped that the words of the play will act as both a story and a performance piece.
