Islands de Caroline Horton

Islands: Modern Plays

Autor Caroline Horton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 ian 2015
This is my world, I am the king, I make the rules and everyone else can go to hell. This is off-shore.

Oxfam estimate that there is $18.5 trillion siphoned out of the world economy into tax havens by wealthy individuals alone. Christian Aid has calculated that 1,000 children die every day as a result of tax evasion. This is not just a political or social challenge: this is a matter of human rights.

Islands is an illuminating, absurd and powerful new show about tax havens, little empires, enormous greed, and the few who have it all. Hilarious and unnerving, this ink-black comedy with music plunges you into a monstrous, secretive world where it really seems that no-one has to pay.. for anything. Head off-shore and frolic with those who have it all worked out as they feed their addiction to wealth, power and material stuff.

The play received its world premiere at the Bush Theatre, London, on 15 January 2015.

Recenzii

It's not the subtlest allegory for how the super-rich have bounced back while our wages have stagnated. But it is a tremendously powerful one. . . . Horton is a mercurial and talented theatre maker
A touching insight into the cruel grip of an eating disorder and a sense of the near impossibility of curing it in anything but the most patient and painstaking way
[Mess] comes perilously close to genius and announces Horton as a major, major talent
One of the oddest, funniest, saddest pieces of theatre I've seen in some time ... Mess could be worthy and unwatchable, but it's not. Rather it is informative and witty and constantly prods away at the strangeness of its subject matter . . . packed with insights.

Notă biografică

Caroline Horton spends most of her time creating her own theatre projects as a writer/performer in collaboration with directors, designers and other performers.
The work she makes is funny, stupid and profound - often wild - often personal - sometimes political. It tours nationally and internationally.
As a writer she's always been interested in other media and in 2013, started writing and performing audio dramas for Radio 4, Paris, Nana & Me was nominated for the Imison Award. In 2016 she was BBC Birmingham's first Writer in Residence, working across radio and TV dramas produced in the city. She's written for BBC series including Home Front and the award-winning Tracks.
She also creates/performs or writes theatre pieces for other companies (recently for New Vic Theatre, Derby Theatre and Birmingham University) and she often collaborates as a performer, writer, director, deviser, dramaturg or outside-eye on other people's work.
She regularly mentors emerging theatre makers and companies and leads workshops. She was 2018/19 Creative Fellow at Birmingham University's Shakespeare Institute, teaching undergrads and postgrads and creating a new theatre show supported by RSC
She was nominated for a 2013 Olivier Award for You're Not Like The Other Girls Chrissy. Her second show, Mess toured internationally after opening at The Traverse, where it won a Stage Award. Other work includes Islands (The Bush), Tranklements (New Vic) and Penelope RETOLD (Derby Theatre). All of Me opened in Edinburgh 2019, winning a Stage Award and The Scotsman Mental Health Award and then transferred to The Yard and touring.
