The Verge is a 25-minute film written and directed by John Roberts. It is set in a North London funeral parlour and consists of an extended soliloquy/lament by a middle-aged black woman, Magdalene, for her adopted white brother, Thomas, who lies on a bier in the space. The form and structure are Greek-classical (Aeschylus); the lighting and décor minimalist; the language, poetically inflected, North London working class.
