Léo by Rosa Laborde at Tarragon Extra Space. Previews February 7-12, runs February 14 until March 19. “This is youth. Anything is possible.” Set in Santiago , Chile , three young friends form a bittersweet love triangle during the political upheaval surrounding President Salvador Allende’s assassination. Told through Léo's memories, the play travels through childhood, first friends and first loves. Passion and poetry weave together in this story of innocence disappeared.

Rosa is an emerging playwright whose credits include Sugar, voted Outstanding New Play by NOW Magazine, soon to be a feature film. Her latest work is the concept and book of an original musical satire called The Ugly Duckling. Léo was introduced at the Rhubarb! Festival and developed into a full-length play at Tarragon.

The full title of the painting which inspired our magazine title is Homo sapiens, Lepidium sativum and Calliphora vomitoria - a wise man, some cress, and a bluebottle. It is the work of British artist Stuart Pearson Wright.

"At the end of the first sitting, the Prince inspected the work and exclaimed 'godzooks' or 'godzounds', the artist was too alarmed to remember which."
