Roger Flavieres – a vertigo sufferer living under the shadow of a colleague’s death that he was powerless to prevent – is asked to follow a friend’s wife in order to discover her secrets…. Vertigo is a wonderfully plotted thriller. It is also concerned with loss of identity, with a man’s desire to punish and control his partners, stripping them of their best qualities in order to vanquish the threat of losing them and with his own depression and guilt, all of which cast an intriguing light on the French experience of invasion and occupation. Vertigo follows The Third Man and Get Carter in Red Shift’s triptych of innovative theatre productions drawing on material sourced from landmark movies.

The life of Jack and Liz, his long suffering wife and essential other half, is told through a series of vignettes. These scenes of the drama of ordinary life, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, touch a chord of familiarity as Godber’s wry incisive humour comes through. “funny and poignant” The Times “transmitted with a directness that touches the heart” The Guardian

Her mastery of the depiction of the human anatomy has brought her critical acclaim and placed her alongside the great painters of the age, at a time when women rarely achieved such recognition. As the painting develops, however, her portrayal of the horrifying reality of war diverts her from the celebration of noble and glorious victory her patrons anticipate. Drawn into confrontation with the State, her daughters and her lover, Barker’s compelling play explores the relationship of the artist with society and authority.
