Recenzii

'A sharp, witty, angry piece about the galvanising power of knowledge.'
Heartfelt and life-affirming
This is a play - which isn't afraid to wear either its heart or its politics on its sleeve.
Brennan sets up a simple scenario: a young woman gets to know an elderly widow after thinking about renting a room from her. The room stays vacant, but the relationship blossoms over a mutual love of the old lady's haul of rescued library books. What emerges is a deeply humane celebration of community, tradition, and the imagination.
Stories are radical. It's an insight that...propels Clara Brennan's fiercely defiant monologue. Her play agitates via emotion, weaving together the personal and the political in the most heartbreaking, chest-thumping of ways.
An outstanding piece of writing demonstrating a unique authorial voice.
If the script has a certain fairytale wish-fulfillment about it as Amy finds a better life for herself, it is based on such a vibrant celebration of language and female strength that you hardly notice.
