Out of Your Knowledge explores our changing attitudes towards the landscape as the playwright retraces the journey of John Clare, the 19th-century English poet who escaped his lunatic asylum in Essex and walked for over 100 miles to reach his home village. This play is taken from Steve Waters: Shorts, five short plays from acclaimed playwright Steve Waters, all of them deeply personal accounts of his attempts to make sense of twenty-first-century Britain and an ever-changing world.
Steve Waters' plays include Limehouse (Donmar Warehouse; Temple (Donmar Warehouse); Why Can't We Live Together?
