Chequered Flags to Chequered Futures

New revised 2020 version Chequered Flags to Chequered Futurestells the true story of Chris Gilfoy, the Rookie's World Champion Banger Racer in 2000. In 2006 Chris was being driven along a public road in a powerful BMW by a racing friend. She was thought to be driving at 90 mph in a 30 limit. None were wearing seatbelts and, unknown to Chris, the driver was uninsured. Disastrously, they crashed into a wall, narrowly avoiding killing another driver. The consequences for all three in the car were life changing in very different ways. The play tells the fast-paced story through the words of Chris and his family with great opportunities for imaginative ensemble work. In a parallel strand of powerful monologues, Jane (the mother of the driver) tells her story of the aftermath of the accident. Suitable for: Key Stage 3/4/5, BTEC, A-Level to adult Duration:60 minutes approximately Cast:5 female, 3 male, 3 female/male "Mark beautifully crafts and weaves the story of the three friends and cleverly integrates some stunning monologues."Tim Ford: Artistic Director Garrick Theatre, Litchfield
