Caracteristici

'Moore has a good ear for the ellipitical nature of intimate exchanges: sentences often trail off as if the darkest thoughts remain unspoken.' Michael Billington, Guardian

Notă biografică

D. C. Moore was born in 1980 in Duston, Northamptonshire. He took part in the Royal Court's Young Writer's Programme and his first full length play Alaska was produced there in 2007. In 2008 Alaska was awarded the Tom Erhardt Award for promising new playwright by the Peggy Ramsey Foundation. Moore's other plays include The Empire (2010), Honest (2010), Town (2010), and The Swan (2011). He was nominated for the 2010 Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright, while The Empire won the 2010 TMA Award for Best Touring Production.

Recenzii

DC Moore's new play, Straight, is a sharp-witted comedy about sex and relationships.
It is a poignant reflection on long-term relationships, the danger of monotony and boredom but also the potential for forgiveness and starting anew after betrayal and hurt ... In short, Straight is a gregarious, flirtatious romp. As corny as it sounds, I have kept thinking about the characters today; such is their vivacity and colour.
Alert to emotional modulations ... Moore's wonderful facility for fresh-minted dialogue
Rather than insecurity about orientation, what the play deftly captures is that hunger for wild, category-shattering experience that may - or may not and that's the risk - enable one to return to everyday normality with the grateful sense of now having made a real choice.
Jabbing punchlines and cringe-inducing comedy make this drama a real hoot ... it's also surprisingly sweet.
Moore writes acutely about masculinity, trust and the numbing effects of social responsibility.
Moore pulls it all off via some brilliantly raucous comic writing. From the bewildered squaddies of 'The Empire' to the nihilistic office worker in 'Honest'. up-and-comer Moore has a killer eye for the neuroses of the British everybloke, which he lovingly amplifies, exaggerates and dissects ... Moore goes way beyond Shelton's film in exploring the grey areas that conventional masculinity papers over.
