The Pool (play)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pool (later subtitled City of Culture?) is a play written by and starring James Brough and Helen Elizabeth. The plot follows David (Brough), a Londoner who finds himself stranded in Liverpool, where he meets Tina (Elizabeth). David persuades Tina to take the day off work and the two spend a day in the city together. The play is a mixture of verse and prose. Brough and Elizabeth conceived it while appearing at the 2004 Edinburgh Fringe. They returned to perform it at The Gilded Balloon in 2006. It has also been performed at the Arts Theatre in London and the Unity Theatre in Liverpool. A film adaptation directed by David Morrissey premiered at the 2009 London Film Festival and was broadcast on BBC Two on 7 March 2010.

[MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] KEITH O'DELL SR.: Pool is a huge part of our lives. Everybody in our family plays. Our pool table takes up the biggest room in the house and we have a storage unit that's full of furniture that we don't use because we don't have room for it . [CHEERS] GRANDFATHER: We get together every week to shoot pool. My dad shot pool his whole life, her dad shot pool. All three of our kids got into it and now our grandson. KEITH O'DELL SR.: I would play 100, 200, 300 racks of 9-Ball every day. Junior...I just put him in the highchair and he would be one hand with the Cheerios and the other hand with the sippy cup and he'd watch me play pool all day. COURTNEY O'DELL: That was his form of watching the baby while I was at work. [LAUGHS] KEITH O'DELL SR.:This pool table here is the original and very old Keith Jr. pool table. And this kid started making shots and pocketing balls like you would not believe. [MUSIC] GRANDFATHER: The game's about physics and geometry basically. GRANDMOTHER: You either see the shot or you don't. GRANDFATHER: You need to be able to see the angles on the table. You need to be able to tell how hard to hit it and how fast the ball is going to move after you hit it. GRANDMOTHER: And for such a young little boy, he can do it. KEITH O'DELL SR.: I put this video up on YouTube and it was picked up by a local news station. COURTNEY O'DELL: It went up. The news station came out the next day and filmed. COURNEY O'DELL: Pool is much more of a daddy Keith thing. KEITH O'DELL SR.: What's the matter? Your pants coming down? KEITH O'DELL JR.: Yeah. KEITH O'DELL SR.: I'll help ya. Just slow it down a little, okay? 1, 2, 3. KEITH O'DELL SR.: What didn't you do? KEITH O'DELL JR.: Didn't do 1, 2, 3. KEITH O'DELL SR.: 1, 2, 3 and you have to hit it harder to get into the pocket, right? KEITH O'DELL SR.: I try to get him focused. Slow down. Concentrate. Me and Keith since he's been 2 years old we've been playing pool together. And my job is to keep him going. Keep it fun, keep it interesting. KEITH O'DELL JR.: Hey, remember that one that I keep shooting to hit the four balls? KEITH O'DELL SR.: Yeah. KEITH O'DELL JR.: I like that. KEITH O'DELL SR.: I saw that Keith Jr. had this talent and I saw that there was money to be made here. And college these days is really really expensive and I want Keith to go to college and I believe he should. It's really important to me to utilize the talent that he's been given and do something positive with it. Helping a cue company sell cues or a piece of chalk, that could put him through college. KEITH O'DELL SR.: Almost. You're getting there. Easy. KEITH O'DELL JR.: I wanna go play. KEITH O'DELL SR.: He's 5 so sometimes he gets frustrated. KEITH O'DELL SR.: Take a break. Take a break. COURTNEY: Whether Keith wants to play pool for the rest of his life or not, we will support him in anything he wants to do. KEITH O'DELL SR.: If you can see this ball doesn't really go in there very easily and he jumps it um..from about 5 feet away. It's definitely one of the hardest shots in the world. There's a professional pool played named Mike Massey who used to use a cowboy boot with a big opening..um..and it was a huge deal that he made that. And we have our 5-year-old making a ball in a shoe that is like 6 times smaller. KEITH O'DELL SR.: Go ahead. Go ahead. Woah. [Laughs] KEITH O'DELL SR.: I'm gonna wait until he's 8 or 9 until I allow him to compete. He needs time to enjoy the game and then he can decide whether if he wants to be competitive or not. KEITH O'DELL SR.: You're almost there. Get it. FAMILY: Woah! KEITH O'DELL SR.: There's no question. Keith was born to play pool. KEITH O'DELL SR.: Get it. FAMILY: [CHEERS] [LAUGHS] KEITH O'DELL JR.: I made it in the shoe! KIETH O'DELL SR.: A little bit of work on the table could change his entire life.

Performance history

The play premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2006, where Brough and Elizabeth won the Fringe First award for new writing. It transferred to the Arts Theatre in London's West End for a limited run at the end of 2006, before a three-day run from 24 to 27 January 2007 at Liverpool's Unity Theatre.[1] It returned to the Arts Theatre for a three-week run from 3 to 21 April 2007, now subtitled City of Culture?[2]

Film adaptation

Brough and Elizabeth, with David Morrissey, adapted the play into a feature film called Don't Worry About Me after Morrissey saw it at the Arts.[3] Brough and Elizabeth reprise their roles as David and Tina. It was filmed on location in Liverpool in September and October 2007 on a budget of £100,000.[4][5] Due to Morrissey's acting commitments, editing and other post-production work delayed the film's release.[6] It premiered at the 53rd London Film Festival.[7] After the screening, a distribution deal was signed with the BBC for the film to be shown on television.[8] The film was broadcast on BBC Two on 7 March 2010, and was released on DVD the next day.[9] Although many scenes were filmed around the city, some filming was done on the other side of the river, at Yummy's Cafe, in Wallasey Village, and on New Brighton beach.
