Athena: Modern Plays

Autor Gracie Gardner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 oct 2021
Why Athena? I guess just like the goddess of strategic warfare and all that. In a New York City fencing club two warriors are ready to battle. Athena and Mary Wallace are training for the Junior Olympics. They practice together. They compete against each other. They spend their lives together. They wish they were friends. From Award-winning playwright Gracie Gardner, following an acclaimed extended run in New York, comes a fierce coming of age comedy where two teenagers parry class, competition and power as they practice fencing and life. But only one will win - en garde. This edition was published to coincide with the UK premiere at The Yard in London in October 2021.

Recenzii

Critic's Pick! "A deadly serious comedy about ambition, success, and owning your superiority. In its delicate ferocity, it shows a playwright who is full-throttle funny and wise beyond her years."
Wily and entertaining.
Smart, galvanising coming-of-age drama
A witty, enthralling fencing comedy
Athena's strength is in its relatability. As is often the way with teenagers, the unlikely duo's worlds are both small and all-encompassing. But as they advance and retreat from each other, in practice and beyond, you yearn for their bond to become long-lasting - even though, with such competition ahead of them, this seems an unlikely prospect.
