“Mamihlapinatapai” BBC Radio 4 Afternoon play Prod D. Jackson-Young TX June 5th 2001.
The title means - 'To look at one another, each hoping the other will offer to do something each of them desires but which neither is willing to do.' The play is a series of micro-dramas interwoven with three main stories, the whole parcel tied up with a specially commissioned musical rap treatment of the title, threaded through and repeated. It's Romeo and Juliet with a comedy dagger and a last minute change of heart. It pokes fun at the extremes we go to because we fear what the other person might do or say or think and takes us from the mundanity of young friends falling in love to a Roman Gladiator and his adoring tiring man to Alec the plumber from Cowdenbeath and Big Chief Talking Bull somewhere out in Red Indian Country."
