and Destroy is a play by pulitzer prize nominee Howard Korder. Large Beast staged
this ironic look at the "American dream" in January 2001 at the well known
fringe venue, The New End Theatre in Hampstead London.
The play revolves around Martin Mirkheim (Shane Taylor), a late twenties early thirties
man from Florida and his attempt to buy the movie rights to a book that has changed his
life called "Daniel Strong".
In Martin's journey around Americain and his continually foiled attempts to meet the
author and self-help guru of the book Dr Waxling (Michael Hadley) we see the way in which
the whole purity of the American dream is corrupted for Martin.
Near the beginning of the play Martin meets Kim Feston (Ben Nealon) and after having
failed to impress Dr Waxling, who turns out to be a bullying shyster, and having tried to
seduce his secretary Marie (Lucy Scott) who has some violent horror movies in her head, he
turns to Kim, lonely, desperate and virtually broke.
Martin mistakes Kim for a drug dealer but although he isn't, Kim knows people who are and
they go to meet an old friend of Kim's called Ron (Paul Barnhill) who sets up a meeting
with a columbian called Pamfilo. Pamfilo double crosses them and takes Martin's last
$250,000 and gives him and Kim some low grade cut heroin.
When they try to sell this on ,believing it to be high grade, to Jack, another aquaintance
of Kim's they discover that the heroin is low grade and Martin starts to panic.
The play ends when Martin and Kim are lost and are stopped by a policeman who discovers
the heroin and who Kim then shoots.
Martin and Kim then argue fall out and Martin clubs Kim to death with a torch.
In the final scene we see Martin has achieved his ambition to become a producer with the
film "Dead World", stolen from Marie and how he threatens and bribes an
investigator into leaving him alone and all the files on his past in Martins posession.
