Everything Not Saved (NHB Modern Plays)

Ex-lovers argue about when they were happiest, police officers rewrite history, and Rasputin dances like no one's watching. Oh, and also the Queen is there.

We're going to feed the present to the past. It's a kind of ritual. A kind of sacrifice. Memory always is.

Everything Not Saved by Carys D. Coburn with MALAPROP Theatre was first staged at the 2017 Dublin Fringe Festival, where it won the Georganne Aldrich Heller Award for a standout Irish artist or company that demonstrates innovation and connects with audiences. It was subsequently staged at the 2018 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

'Malaprop Theatre play mind tricks on us… Everything Not Saved interrogates ideas about faking history, questioning absolute certainty and curating cultural memory… the company's deeply layered meta-theatricality dances a step ahead of the audience, teasing and probing' – Guardian
