MV RESEARCH - Theatre Influences

STEVEN BERKOFF
Steven Berkoff's play Decadence, extreme satire on the upper class.
Its again bringing in high art to low art of pop music, what Bowie wanted. Postmodernism.


The classic fox hunting scene


The scene in the film version. (this Variety article links it to a satire of Thatcher's Britain)



GRAND GUIGNOL RELOADED

Characters playing cards at a table.
Someone holding a plotplant, it's their most valuable possession, their baby. The facial expression of the actor is extremely important here.
