What Falls Apart de Torben Betts

What Falls Apart: Oberon Modern Plays

Autor Torben Betts
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 apr 2015
May 2015: The most important General Election for a generation. All is not well for Tom Savage, an ex-Labour minister parachuted into a safe North East constituency, trying to win hearts and minds as well as an Election. Wrestling with a heady cocktail of mid-life crisis, growing dependency on alcohol and the consequences of his Government's policies in Iraq, Tom finds himself in a Tyneside hotel bar at midnight with a newly teetotal barman and a 'criminally attractive' woman. What could possibly go wrong? Plenty.

Recenzii

An uncommonly talented playwright - Brilliant and testing.
I was reminded of both Tom Stoppard and George Bernard Shaw, partly in the interplay between character and ideas but also in the demands Betts makes on his audience, in the intellectual rigour of the writing and his ability to look afresh at at hackneyed topics...the stunned silence as the lights went down at the end and the seemingly interminable pause before the enthusiastic applause broke out say it all.
He is just about the most extraordinary writer of drama we have...a boldly visionary poet...a political Beckett. A flamingly original writer we ignore at our peril.
