Nobody Will Ever Forgive Us: Modern Plays

Autor Paul Higgins
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 noi 2008
Patrick comes home unexpectedly from the seminary and older brother Johnny's not slow to tap him for money. Mum is suspicious, Dad seems indifferent, and pissed, and little sister Cath is distracted and medicated.
Nobody Will Ever Forgive Us is the story of a family under siege. Living on their wits and stalked by violence, they defend themselves with the blackest of humour.
The play was produced as part of the National Theatre of Scotland/Traverse Theatre's Debuts season and premiered at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh in November 2008.
'A keen sense of theatrical dynamics, vigorous dialogue and ready wit.' Guardian

Caracteristici

'Pugnaciously funny . . .The principle cause of the friction is the family's father, a back-seat socialist and bar-room poet whose authoritarian hold over his wife and grown-up children is a front to disguise his being a pathetic alcoholic.' Guardian

Recenzii

'[Higgins's] language, in this bleak comedy about a dysfunctional working-class family on the cusp of meltdown, is driven, argumentative and brutal.'
'Nobody Will Ever Forgive Us is pugnaciously funny.'
'Alcohol, religion, socialist rhetoric, gambling problems and familial disharmony are all here, but they come together with purpose, honesty and the vividness of first-hand experience to offer real insight into what it is to grow up in a working-class, Catholic Scots family.'
'This is a fine debut from Higgins and a decent bit of theatre all round.'
