Beschreibung

An offbeat love story about Mr Tutti Frutti, a stuffed owl and the struggle to fit in.
This is a boy-meets-girl story. Son of a Polish taxidermist meets daughter of a failing ice-cream salesman at a medical-research facility in Merthyr Tydfil. First date in Tesco and things are going well.
But it's difficult to fall in love when your parents need saving from themselves, their weird hobbies and the threat of a prison sentence.
Alan Harris's play Love, Lies and Taxidermy was first produced by Paines Plough, Sherman Cymru and Theatr Clwyd in Paines Plough's pop-up theatre, Roundabout, at the 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, before touring.
Verfügbar seit: 04.08.2016.

    A chillingly funny play that freeze-frames a generation negotiating intimacy and independence in the twenty-first century.
    Meeting the demands of twenty-first-century life is as impossible as herding cats for Justine, Michael and Saddo.
    Justine has an infuriating new boss, Michael chats to strangers for a living, Saddo is one of them. All three are living a comic fiction in an attempt to avoid the facts. And now Christmas is coming... ready or not.
    'the polished black shards of humour and ripples of queasy horror make for a compelling cackle into the void' - Time Out

    Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, literary critic and philosopher who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets. He wrote the poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan.  His critical work, especially on Shakespeare, was highly influential, and he helped introduce German idealist philosophy to English-speaking culture. He coined many familiar words and phrases, including the celebrated suspension of disbelief. He was a major influence on Emerson, and American transcendentalism.Throughout his adult life, Coleridge suffered from crippling bouts of anxiety and depression; it has been speculated by some that he suffered from bipolar disorder, a condition not identified during his lifetime. Coleridge suffered from poor health that may have stemmed from a bout of rheumatic fever and other childhood illnesses. He was treated for these concerns with laudanum, which fostered a lifelong opium addiction. (Summary from Wikipedia)

    Poetry is a fascinating use of language. With almost a million words at their command, it is not surprising that English poets have produced some of the most beautiful, moving, and descriptive verse through the centuries. In this collection we look at Daniel Sheehan, a frequent contributor to anthologies and collections.It is famously said that no man is an island—though many are still mysterious. Some seek limelight while others seek the shadows. In the case of Daniel Sheehan, either little is known of him or he wants little to be known; probably the latter. His work hints at a great love and a journey that is unknown—a journey both with someone and for someone.
