Blue Ball

Godfrey's "The Blue Ball" is a large-scale work which presents an imaginative investigation of the experience of space travel. It is a play which shows overwhelming emotion meeting obsessive scientific routine, and explores the wonder and shock of the imagination made real.

Paul Godfrey is "so good, so nervy and alert with imagination and intelligence" (Sunday Times) The Blue Ball is an imaginative investigation of the experience of Space researched by the playwright among the astronauts themselves. This ambitious play questions the politics of a culture in which the wondrous is rendered mundane and what seems commonplace is rendered absurd.
