Mongrel Island: Modern Plays

Autor Ed Harris
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iul 2011
Marie is losing herself in her grey office existence, trapped by endless piles of paperwork and the same people saying the same things every single day. But as she is forced to work later and later into the night, she discovers a deeply strange twilight world where a new possibility for rescuing her sanity is illuminated by the fluorescent office lights.Commissioned by Soho Theatre and written by up-and-coming writer Ed Harris, Mongrel Island explores the mind and memory, offering a perspective of how the workplace can strip away our humanity. Combining madcap, surreal humour with an indictment of the corporate world's subjugation of individualism, Mongrel Island is a bittersweet, touching and darkly humourous play.

Caracteristici

'The skill of the writing lies in the way it wraps past and present, conveying the episodic, disjointed, random nature of memory... done with great care and compassion from start to finish' Sunday Times on Ed Harris's The Moment You Feel It

Recenzii

A writer worth watching.
In this tasty 90 minutes of wild humour tinged with quiet sadness there is a great deal to savour.
[Harris's] lines are sharp, his characters self-aware. This is a hugely promising piece of work.
In a play haunted by death, suicide, depression, defeatism and dysfunctional parent-child relationships, Harris displays a raw sensitivity to these subjects and a devastatingly vibrant turn of phrase about them... A talent to look out for.

Descriere

Mongrel Island is a dazzlingly powerful and dreamlike comic play where madcap surreal humour meets the mundanity of everyday office life.
