Days of Significance: Modern Plays

Autor Roy Williams
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 ian 2007
Written in response to Much Ado About Nothing and performed by Dominic Cooke's Pericles and The Winter's Tale Company, Roy Williams' Days of Significance is set in market-town England and the deserts of Iraq. Two young soldiers join their friends to binge drink the night before they leave for active service. Their complex love lives and mortal fears directly impact on their tour of duty.
Roy Williams looks at how the naive and malformed moral codes of these young men have catastrophic reverberations for the West's moral authority.

Recenzii

'Williams has a remarkable talent for engineering unforced, truthful-seeming collisions between tragic emotion and irrelevant or blithely disreputable comedy'
'Days of Significance is a frankly terrifying and utterly compelling examination of the morality of sending young men to fight a war when they are ill-equipped to do so in every way'
'Brace yourself: this is tough, important stuff, alarmingly well done'
'Williams, while he does not exonerate the behaviour of the soldiers, draws an immensely compassionate portrait of people propelled into hell'
'Here is a state-of-the-nation play in which Williams leaves his comfort zone of writing about the black community and stretches himself imaginatively with terrific results'
