A Wolf in Snakeskin Shoes: Modern Plays

Autor Marcus Gardley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 oct 2015
This fresh take on Molière's Tartuffe, set in a world of fast-food tycoons and megachurches is a wicked new comedy that rocks the foundations of trust, faith and redemption.
Given just days to live, multi-millionaire Archibald Organdy rejects costly experimental treatment and opts to face his end surrounded by his loving family. However, things could be about to change.
Arriving in Atlanta the flamboyant Archbishop Tardimus Toof, a prophet, preacher and part-time masseur promises to absolve Archibald's sins and heal his disease. But his family suspects there's more to this healer than faith, virtue and snakeskin shoes.
This programme text was published to coincides with the world premiere at the Tricycle Theatre, London, which opened on 8 October 2015.

Recenzii

This play has so much going for it.
Gardley's modern take on Moliere contains moments of real dazzle . . . There are big laughs here
bags of energy and linguistic brio
the story achieves the balance of farcical madness and narrative logic found in a good Moliere production.
Garley's script is largely written in sparkling verse, combining deep south African-American intonations with comic internal rhymes; it's technically impressive
Gardley writes with tremendous verve, producing witty, whyming swashbuckling monologues . . . There's an energy and zing to the play
The knockout orations sizzle.
a hoot . . . Gardley's text is written in a lively and highly coloured verse whose rhymes are both comic and serve to underline its sparkling ideas. With some big themes of religious healing, curing gays, exploring roots, and the relationship between men and women, this is a spirited satire whose cartoon characters occasionally reveal unexpected depths. . . . Politically incorrect, often humorous, occasionally moving, this is a superior adaptation that proves that American playwriting is alive and well.
