How the World Began

Autor Catherine Trieschmann
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 oct 2013
A provocative, intelligent, and deeply felt play from the author of Crooked and The Bridegroom of Blowing Rock, Catherine Trieschmann, that earned critical acclaim Off-Broadway at The Women's Project. A Manhattan woman travels to a rural town in Kansas recently devastated by a tornado to take a teaching job in a makeshift high school. But when she makes an off-handed remark regarding the origins of life, she unleashes community outrage and the particular distress of a disturbed young boy. In an intimate and artful inquiry of her character's very souls, Trieschmann invites audiences to consider their own beliefs and their perhaps unspoken opinions of others.

Recenzii

Catherine Trieschmann's gripping three-hander is very much in a tradition of American issue plays such as David Mamet's Oleanna and Rebecca Gilman's Spinning into Butter... The cleverness of this piece...is that its central drama is not about science versus creationism, but about faith and faithlessness, the gap between east-coast liberalism and small-town America, and about the way we dismiss other people's points of view.
Faith and science collide in one small room, and sparks fly spectacularly in this drama by the American writer Catherine Trieschmann... The play is gripping, disturbing and relevant... Trieschmann's writing is taut and laced with irony.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Sharp, thoughtful and mysterious, How the World Began is a powerful story about an outsider in a close-knit, devastated community. Looking at the tension between secular religion and evolution, and how this is taught in schools, this provocative, intelligent play explores the clash between faith and science.
