About

Young Community Theatre 4All

Vanity, a play especially written for the group, is a multifaceted drama exploring the titles core theme through a series of interlinking scenes. The starting point for the creation of this work was Hans Christian Andersons cautionary tale The Red Shoes. Like all cautionary tales of the Victorian period there is quite a gruesome element to the story which sits less comfortably in our modern world. I have tried to reduce the impact of this aspect of the story, without losing the cautionary warning, which has much that we can learn from in this age of social media pressures to conform with the perfect image projected at us by every day media. Into this starting point fairy tales and legends exploring the same theme have been interwoven. Finally, modern day scenes have been added to bring the whole issue of vanity and peer pressure expectation to conform with social norms into stark, up to date, reality. This drama is firstly, a piece to entertain but beyond that it is also a piece for all ages, to challenge us to look into the mirror and to see ourselves as we really are .

Vanity of vanities all is vanity. Ecclesiastes Chapter 1 verse 2 (King James Translation)
