Transcript of Lindsay Clarke - The Water Theatre Video Content
Lindsay Clarke talks to www.theinterviewonline.co.uk about his
latest book The Water Theatre. He explains that like his
Whitbread Prizewinning novel The Chymical Wedding it was inspired
by a dream he had. This time though it involved his deceased father
and it explains how it brought in to question the role of the
father in the family.
War reporter Martin is summoned by a surrogate father figure Hal
Brigstock to try and reunite Hal's children Adam and Marina for a
final farewell since Hal does not have long to live. Not an easy
task since Martin himself inadvertently played his own part in
splitting up the family.
Clarke explains in the interview why he likes to use mysticism in
his writing since he believes that in the modern age we shun
anything to do with the spiritual. All mysticism means, he explains
in the interview, is healing.
