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.
Paul Godfrey was born in the West of England and trained as a director in the Scottish Theatre. His work includes Inventing a New Colour (Royal Court, Bristol Old Vic), A Bucket of Eels (RSC Festival: The Other Place, BT Connections Scheme: Royal National Theatre), Once in a While the Odd Thing Happens (Royal National Theatre), The Panic, libretto to a score by David Sawer (Royal Opera House, Garden Venture), The Blue Ball (Royal National Theatre), Trilogy of New Plays from Different Sources: The Modern Husband (Actor's Touring Company), The Invisible Woman (The Gate), The Candidate (Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester), and Catalogue of Misunderstanding.
