Eight (play)
''Eight'' is the first play written by Ella Hickson. Hickson created eight monologues ready to air at Edinburgh's Fringe Festival in August 2008. These monologues (of 15 minutes each) offer a state-of-the-nation group portrait. The official website for the performance describes it as "looking at what has happened to a generation that have grown up in a world where everything has become acceptable." ''Eight'' was formed around the results of a survey that asked twenty-somethings what defined their generation, Hickson tried to answer their almost unanimous response of 'apathy' with a show that works to find the glimmers of faith amidst wholesale cynicism. ''Eight'' looks at the singular, personal effect of an otherwise social phenomenon. Performances For each performance, the audience was asked to vote for which four of the eight monologues they would like to see. As the audience entered the auditorium, all eight characters were lined up across the front of the stage—but o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Eight (1998 Film)
''Eight'' (stylized as ''Ei8ht'') is a 1998 British short film directed by Stephen Daldry, written by Tim Clague and produced by Working Title Films. Plot ''Eight'' tells the story of the life of an eight-year-old football fan who has to come to terms with living in a strange new town and the loss of his father.

Jonathan has no father, but says he was "a flower person who liked pots and world peas" (the knowing adult viewer appreciates this means flower power / hippie, pot (marijuana) and world peace). Jonathan's best friend is Terry, who is a Manchester United-supporter. Together they watch tapes of England in the 1998 FIFA World Cup at Terry's, since Jonathan's mum does not allow football in the house. Terry has a father that Jonathan think is "great".
