Shallow Slumber: Modern Plays

Autor Chris Lee
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 ian 2012
Shallow Slumber is a new play by award-winning writer and social worker Chris Lee, exploring therelationship between a young mother and a social worker.
Dawn never thought motherhood would feel like this. Moira never thought she'd have a case like this. Unfolding backwards to the heart-rending moment when everything changed, Shallow Slumber looks past the headlines to the lives beneath.

The play tackles the topical and thorny issue of social care, intervention and trust in a contemporary and relevant social setting. Inspired by the Baby P tragedy, this powerful two-hander has an intricate, innovative structure which disturbingly charts the onset of abuse backwards, from contrition and repentance, to the breakdown of the maternal relationship.

With heart-wrenchingly realistic portraits and dialogue which combines fluidity with tightness, Shallow Slumber is an accomplished piece of writing, both structurally and emotionally.

Recenzii

Rising playright Chris Lee.
The piece has an inbuilt tension, and there are strong passages of writing.
Voicing the unspeakable and illuminating the inexplicable.
Dawn's deeply distressing closing speech prises your mind's eye open on a scene that must have been as hard for Lee to imagine as it is for us to forget.

Lee's play, it's accomplished. It's authentic. It's a gritty gift to actors. He's evidently talented.
