It can be argued that it takes immense courage or character of spirit to take on the writing of Mark Ravenhill, especially his play Pool (No Water) which speaks volumes of how art and artists are a breed that need constant nurturing. The work though  leaves so much to the interpretation of the brave director who has made it their life’s mission to try and go through the entangled genius and come up with something that tears at the mind and catches the emotions of the audience at their peak.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Sunday Postscript, An Interview With Danny Partington.

Liverpool University Drama Society’s long association with putting on diverse and interesting plays continues this autumn with their production of Pool (No Water). Pool (No Water) is a painful, visceral insight into the issues of self-loathing, artistic integrity and bitter jealousy amongst friends and artists, known solely and collectively as “The Group”.   

Reunited at the funeral of a mutual friend, a famous artist invites her old friends and colleagues out to her luxurious new home, complete with private pool and for one night only, The Group is back together. However, celebrations come to an abrupt end when the host suffers a horrific accident.
