"The notion of writing a play about television is one I find very interesting. When I read the blurb for Beached, I was intrigued as how they were going to realise the concept – a play based round the construct of a reality TV show – within a theatrical context."

"REALITY television can be a cruel and manipulative process that is more interested in sensationalising its subjects' problems than solving them.
