Punk Rock: Modern Plays

Autor Simon Stephens
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 sep 2009
'Everything human beings do finishes up bad in the end. Everything good human beings ever make is built on something monstrous. Nothing lasts. We certainly won't...'Based on his experience as a teacher, Stephens describes his play as 'The History Boys on crack'. It explores the underlying tensions and potential violence in a group of affluent, articulate seventeen year old students. Contemporary and unnerving, with elements of The Catcher in the Rye, Punk Rock follows the story of seven sixth-formers as they face up to the pressures of teenage life, while preparing for their mock A-level exams and trying to get into Oxbridge. They are a group of educated, intelligent and aspirational young people but step-by-step, the dislocation, disjunction and latent violence simmering under the surface of prosperity is revealed.

Recenzii

'Simon Stephens has created a stark, bracing and eventually brutal portrait of adolescent relationships in his new play Punk Rock'
'Stephens's play...confronts young people as they really are, and builds inexorably towards its tragic and violent climax.'
'Simon Stephens evokes the twilight world of the teenager with scary vividness'
'Simon Stephens' powerful and compelling new play'
'Simon Stephens's cracking new play'
'This riveting new work confirms Simon Stephens as one of the most important and exciting British playwrights working today' : 'compassion, insight -- and theatrical panache' : 'The writer's perfectly calibrated setup leads auds to some of the biggest, most complex questions of our times'
'Simon Stephens... writes funny and cruel banter which strikes a truthfully juvenile tone.'
'The piece is gripping, shocking and ferociously funny as anxieties jitter, hormones fizz and misery festers in the library of a Stockport private school.'
'A fierce and eventually shocking story that really taps into the anxieties of teenage youth'
Teenage issues such as eating disorders and bullying are highlighted, but so deftly that there's no hint of a "yoof" play...The dialogue zips along, and students love it.
