Beauty, love, work... sometimes it just isn’t worth getting out of bed for. BLOODY MONDAYS & STRAWBERRY PIES examines the role of boredom in the human condition by showing the lives of a 32 year old Wall Street stockbroker who makes millions a year, a desert nomad who does nothing all day, the last living spy from the Second World War, a painter who has been painting Time for the last 42 years and the first school shooter in history: Brenda Spencer, who at the age of 16 shot eleven people because: ‘I don’t like Mondays’. The actor John Malkovich gives voice to the inner bored human being. His fascinating timbre crawls under your skin and wonders: ‘How many people in the world are like me?’ The answers are right in the silent Sahara of your mind.
