Feathers in the Snow de Philip Ridley

Feathers in the Snow: Modern Plays

Autor Philip Ridley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 dec 2012
Beneath a sky full of stars a decision is made. This decision sets off an astonishing chain of events. And a journey involving a talking leopard, a greedy King, a magical bird, a tidal wave, a Sea Witch, a lost soldier, a devious dolphin, a war - and a trail of feathers in the snow . . . Feathers in the Snow, a family show by acclaimed playwright and children's author Philip Ridley, is an epic story of magic and migration. Covering over five hundred years - and with a huge cast - it explores how stories give meaning to random events and of our constant need to find somewhere we call 'home'. Feathers in the Snow reunites director David Mercatali with playwright Philip Ridley, following their collaboration in 2011 on Tender Napalm which was named one of the Guardian, Observer and Time Out's best shows of 2011.

Caracteristici

Ridley's work has been a big success in the US with Ben Brantley of the New York Times commenting: 'Mr. Ridley . . . is high on my list of contemporary playwrights these days. He was always a writer of daring and satanic imagination, with a sui generis vocabulary to match . . . But more recently he's been weaving theatrical fantasies that bear the relation to everyday reality that your dreams, and especially your nightmares, do . . . The exotic worlds he conjures feel deeply familiar, even to the point of banality, which is what makes them all the scarier and all the more revelatory.'

Recenzii

Notable for its avid sense of fun ... the preoccupations are standard Ridley: stories ... and home, our constant yearning for each and the way we sometimes use the former to build the latter ... if you watch attentively you can spot substantive and complex ideas gliding past ... Ridley is stressing the "fun" in profundity.
Ridley's storytelling combines the fantastical and the down to earth, and leavens the darkness with humour ... like all Ridley's work, it's distinctively different, never patronising its young audience, and it celebrates the power of storytelling to see us through the darkest times.
A further instance of Ridley's preoccupation with the power - for good and ill - of story-telling in our attempts to make sense of experience. What's new here, though, is the spirit of antic knockabout playfulness ... [a] resilience in Ridley's writing that offsets the harshness of the subject matter - its spring recurring rhythms and its larky knowingness about narrative tropes.
The story has an epic structure ... gripping, confronting issues such as the unreliability of historians. Children around me seemed attentive, fascinated, serious
