William S.Burroughs  - first the paintings - now the play!

A dramatisation of works of William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin adapted with their approval by John Allen and Kathelin Gray (for Theatre of All Possibilities)

The Nova Mob is poised to blow up planet Earth.  They use a sophisticated strategy of shifting identities to confound detection.  Hassan-i-Sabbah, mystic founder of the School of Assassins and head of the Nova Police, recruits Uranium Willy, an ex-junkie, to join him in deconstructing this countdown to Nova Explosion.  They finally penetrate the Reality Studio, where the Nova Mob generates weapons of word/image, broadcast as “reality”.

Directed by Claudia Boulton

"William was a foreseer, he foresaw our new century…
The Nova criminals of our time have revealed themselves
