Chris Drummond And Gill Hicks Talk 'thursday' by Bryony Lavery

>>GILL: My name's Gill Hicks I'm the founder of a not for profit called Mad for Peace and have found myself the inspiration for an amazing piece of work that Brink Productions and English Touring Theatre company are putting on, called 'Thursday'. >> CHRIS: It tells the story of nine lives, nine stranges who all wake up on a Thursday morning and go through their daily routines, go out into the day and are confronted by a horrific event. [Background piano music begins] We follow some of those lives in the hours, days, weeks and months that follow. >>Rather magically, wonderfully and I think, for me, powerfully, is capturing this idea of the brilliance of humanity. And that the person next to you, however infuriating we may find our fellow human beings at times, the person next to you may also in the split of a second [clicks fingers] be your saviour. And I think that there's an incredible take out from this for an audience, and why pieces of work like 'Thursday' are actually very important for public address, as a reminder. For us to have reminders. [Background music continues, fades]
