Robert David MacDonald

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iun 2003

Includes the plays De Sade Show, Persons Unknown and Salto MoltaleA second series of plays, originally written for and performed by the Glasgow Citizens' Theatre.As witty as they are alarming, these three plays cover a considerable range of settings and offer unusual and rewarding opportunities to the actors. De Sade Show presents a gruesome picture of the notorious philosopher and his intimate friends, Salto Mortale take the audience by tortuous route to the circus, while Persons Unknown examines the whys and wherefores of one of the 19th century's most celebrated and puzzling unsolved crimes. All in all, a disturbing and funny trio, and another instance of a remarkable individual voice in the theatre.
