GREGORY BURKE Gregory Burke was born in Dunfermline in 1968. After school and having dropped out of Stirling University he fulfilled a variety of vital roles in the minimum wage economy. GAGARIN WAY is his first play. PREFACE I wanted to write something about the Twentieth Century. That's usually how I begin an explanation of what I wanted to achieve when writing this play. It's not very helpful I know, but when I wrote the play it was the only century I had managed to live in. (Obviously, now, I feel like a weight has come off.) I also wanted to write a play about economics, it being the dominant (only?) theme in modern politics, and the source of real power in our increasingly globalised times. And finally, I wanted to write about men and our infinite capacity for self-delusion. So I wrote GAGARIN WAY. The play is named after a street in the village of Lumphinnans in west Fife which was a hotbed of communism. As part of the Fife coalfield, its existence, and that of the towns and villages which surround it, was due solely to its proximity to coal. I moved to west Fife in 1 984 and The Miners' Strike was in full flow. Fife was, of course, a very staunch and committed region during the dispute, even though everyone, including the miners, knew that they were, eventually, going to be beaten. (Coal was cheaper in Poland after all.) However inevitable defeat was not something that was ever going to break the strike and the vast majority of miners and their families endured to the bitter end. The mines closed, the ex-miners were swallowed up by the electronics factories and service industries which followed (attracted by government subsidy to areas of high unemployment) as were the dockyard workers at Rosyth, when the defence industries were decimated when the West celebrated the end of the Cold War. (Russia couldn't afford the arms race.) Economics decides the fate of people, not their politicians. Governments are powerless when up against a multi-national, the vagaries of the stock market and history. But the people remain. That's the constant. We remain and we find other things to keep ourselves amused. I wanted to write something about the twentieth, century and I wanted to write something about economics and I wanted to write about men and it turned into Gagarin Way. A comedy. I didn't expect it to be a comedy but when you consider the themes which emerged while I wrote it - Marxist and Hegelian theories of history, anarchism, psychopathology, existentialism, mental illness, political terrorism, nihilism, globalisation and the crisis in masculinity - then it couldn't really be anything else.
