Morning: Modern Plays

Autor Simon Stephens
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2012
'I missed first time. I could feel his skull caving in. It was like a shell.'

Morning - a play for young people - is the latest offering from acclaimed playwright Simon Stephens, written after a workshop involving actors from the Young Company at the Lyric, Hammersmith and the Theater, Basel, Switzerland.

It's the end of summer in a small, claustrophobic town and two friends are about to go their separate ways: one to university; the other will be staying local. But no matter what separates them, they will always share one moment: a moment that changed them forever.

This dark coming-of-age play, to be performed by the Lyric Young Company, is a disturbing look at the cruel acts we are capable of committing; our society's numbness to physical pain; and the consequences of our actions.

This programme text will coincide with the Lyric's production of the play at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh as part of the Festival (2 - 22nd September) followed by a brief run at the Lyric Hammersmith, London in September.

Recenzii

A brilliant writer of immense imagination with an acute observation of people's foibles
[A] dark, beautiful, intricately layered work
Simon Stephens's marvellous and moving new play lasts for little more than an hour but feels like an epic.
A shocking and savage play . all this is no joy to watch . but . utterly compelling . Morning shows us the world as it is, not how we fondly imagine it to be.
Its power comes from its absolute authenticity . atmospheric and grimly compelling
Theatrically daring and uncompromising
