Sadie Spencer was supported by the Jerwood Assistant Directors Programme at the Young Vic.
Off to the side, apart from the group, one lone young man sits. We shall call him Young Man 1. Young Man 1 He has a story to tell it is banging around inside him, aching to come out. But how does he begin? He opens his favorite novel, hoping to find inspiration in its first familiar sentence. And in reading those words, he finds himself once again in the gentle, reassuring presence of their author. An older man enters. M. Forster. Forster.
We, like all his intimates, shall call him Morgan. Morgan I hope Im not disturbing you.
My friends. The men Ive loved. And those Ive lost. Morgan Goodness me. Friendship, love, and loss. Sounds like youre off to a very good start.
Young Man 1 But the thing is Im not! My ideas refuse to become words. Morgan Yes, I understand. All your ideas are at the starting post, ready to run. And yet they all must pass through a keyhole in order to begin the race. Young Man 1 I picked up one of your books Morgan Which one? Ah, Howards End. Young Man 1 One may as well begin with Helens letters to her sister.
God, what a great first sentence! So dashed off, as if to suggest it doesnt really matter how you start. Morgan Perhaps it doesnt. Young Man 1 I keep returning to this book again and again. Morgan Tell me: what is it about the novel that speaks to you? What do you find in its pages? Young Man 2 Guidance? Young Man 8 Compassion. Young Man 4 Wisdom. Young Man 5 I love its humanity.
Young Man 7 Its honesty. Young Man 1 It comforts me. Young Man 10 Not for me. I mean, its a great book, dont get me wrong. And the movies good. But, I mean, the world is so different now.
I cant identify with it at all. Young Man 9 Its been a hundred years. Young Man 7 The world has changed so much. Young Man 3 Our lives are nothing like the people in your book. Morgan How can that be true? Hearts still love, dont they? And break. Hope, fear, jealousy, desire.
Your lives may be different. But the feelings are the same. The difference is merely setting, context, costumes. But those are just details. Young Man 1 All I have are the details. Morgan Why do you need to tell your story? Young Man 1 To understand it.
To understand myself. Morgan Thats a story Id like to hear. Young Man 1 Will you help me tell my story? Our story? Young Man 7 Who we are. Young Man 6 How we got here. Young Man 4 And what we mean to each other. The Lads encourage him. Morgan I would be delighted.
So, to begin: who does your story start with? Young Man 1 Toby. Morgan One may as well begin with Tobys what? Young Man 1 Voicemails. Morgan One may as well begin with Tobys voicemails Young Man 1 to his boyfriend.
Tobys a little drunk. Where are you? You cant be asleep already. You are missing the most exquisite party, holy shit! Call me when you get this. God, I love the Hamptons! Beep. Tobys drunker. Okay. So. First of all this house is gorgeous.
Its this sleek, modernist saltbox, all concrete and glass with a massive infinity pool that stretches out to the ocean. And all of it so tastefully decorated, you would die. Young Man 1 And its owner, Henry Wilcox? Toby Oh, Henry Wilcox! You were right: Henry Wilcox is really kinda dreamy. I want to be him when I grow up. Hes wearing the most magnificent suit, which was made by this Savile Row-trained tailor on the Upper West Side, kinda near us, actually. So when I asked him for the guys information, Henry says: Young Man 1 Oh Toby, hes way out of your price range.
