Two cheers for Chair, Edward Bond’s tense, grim parable of an urban wasteland which concludes the trilogy of plays directed by Bond and Sean Holmes in the Lyric’s all-white studio space.
Chair was first heard on radio 12 years ago and revised for the stage a few years later.

Looking from a window, Alice sees a soldier (Nicholas Gleaves) and a subjugated woman (Sandra Voe) whom she might or might not recognise; they are not allowed to look at prisoners. Billy has never left the room he has covered with his primitive, colourful, nursery school drawings.
