Apples: Oberon Modern Plays

Autor Richard Milward Adaptat de John Retallack
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iun 2010
Adapted for stage, Apples is set on a Middlesbrough council estate, this astonishing piece of writing by 23 year old Richard Milward, is an electrifying collision of Irvine Welsh and Virginia Woolf. Streams of poetic, impassioned and often hilarious words pour from five fifteen year olds as they negotiate a world where the adults are absent, drugs are everywhere, sex is desperate and life is both terrifying and thrilling.

A dazzling, tragicomic love story of adolescence based on the astonishing debut novel by Richard Milward. Shameless, ruthless and intensely poetic, Apples articulates what it is like to be young.
Apples was the winner of the coveted Bank of Scotland Herald Angel Award at the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The prize is awarded for excellence in the Edinburgh Festival.

Recenzii

Funny, tragic and transcendent. If you were ever a teenager, read it
A retelling of Paradise Lost set on a Middlesbrough housing estate. Apples is... experimental, fearless, funny and frightening
An astonishing debut . . . Catcher in the Rye meets the Arctic Monkeys
If this terrifyingly talented author really does have his finger on the pulse of today's youth, parents should probably just give up right now
Dazzling . . . I loved Apples . . . If I were an adolescent, I'd read and re-read [it] until it fell apart
If Bret Easton Ellis had grown up in a North of England housing project, Less Than Zero might have looked a bit like Apples. It's one of the best books I've ever read about being young, working-class and British
Crass, graphic, funny and unnerving . . . well constructed and streaming with gorgeous language, it's a frighteningly recognisable glimpse into a particular experience of adolescence
Richard Milward's no-holds-barred debut is the story of a boy named Adam and a girl named Eve . . . alongside chapters told by Adam and Eve are esoteric interludes where the narrator is a butterfly or an unborn baby, and each time Milward acquits himself brilliantly... Apples is an electrifying book, as frightening as it is funny, full of words that will have you running to urbandictionary.com, before cunningly using them in your own everyday speech
