The Cow Play: Modern Plays

Autor Ed Harris
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2013
It's unusual, isn't it, for a girl to grow a tail at my age?

Owen can't seem to write, Thom's exhaust pipe is ruined, and Holly is turning into a cow. As the situation worsens Owen is forced to choose between his blunt and exciting friend Thom, or his love for the increasingly bovine Holly. Owen knows the effects Holly's transformation are having on him, but he is scared that if he gives up on the one he loves, he'll be no better than Thom - a man who is the epitome of opportunism and shallow self-interest.

The Cow Play is a hilarious, touching and bizarre story, an absurd black comedy about the ethics of trying to save those we love.

Recenzii

A writer worth watching
[Harris's] lines are sharp, his characters self-aware. This is a hugely promising piece of work.
In a play haunted by death, suicide, depression, defeatism and dysfunctional parent-child relationships, Harris displays a raw sensitivity to these subjects and a devastatingly vibrant turn of phrase about them . . . A talent to look out for.

Notă biografică

Ed Harris is an award-winning, dyslexic playwright, poet and comedy writer based in Brighton. Before finding his feet as a writer, Ed was a binman, care worker... and even once spent a winter as a husky trainer in Lapland! His first major play Mongrel Island opened at Soho Theatre in 2011 to great critical acclaim, and was later produced in Mexico as Perro Sin Raza, where it ran for six months. His other plays include The Cow Play, What the Thunder Said (which won The Writers' Guild Award for Best Play For Younger Audiences), and Never Ever After (shortlisted for the Meyer-Whitworth award). He wrote his first opera, A Shoe Full of Stars, with composer Omar Shahryar. It was described as a 'comic opera for children. about terrorism!' and won the international YAM Award in 2018 for Best Opera.
