Sinopsis

A true-life play about friendship, heartbreak and business enterprise... in a seaside brothel.
Tessa has set up a business: a brothel where mature women specialise in offering the 'Girlfriend Experience', a surprisingly caring and sympathetic service.
As the women stoically strive to make a living in a competitive market, their personal lives start to crumble. Will they ever have loving relationships outside work and enjoy being girlfriends themselves?
The Girlfriend Experience continues the verbatim-theatre technique Alecky Blythe developed in Come Out Eli and Cruising. The play is created entirely from conversations recorded inside an actual brothel, edited and replicated on stage in all their uncanny verisimilitude.
'funny, touching and absolutely filthy... a hugely entertaining eye-opener of a show' - Telegraph
'poignant, sometimes disturbing, often riotously funny' - The Times
'These women aren't patronised or made into gargoyles: their sentences are gorgeous. They simply reveal their lives. What more could you want from the theatre?' - Observer
Disponible desde: 06/10/2014.

    A Question of Mercy - A Play...

    The Tony Award–winning playwright of Hurlyburly “confronts the timely topic of assisted suicide . . . an affirmation of dignity that rings clear and true” (Variety).   David Rabe is one of America’s finest dramatists. In A Question of Mercy, he explores the controversial and emotional issue of euthanasia, delving deep into the ties that bind friends and lovers. Thomas and Anthony are lovers struggling with Anthony’s final, exhausting battle with AIDS. Joined by their friend Susanah and a retired doctor, whose help Thomas has requested, they fashion a heartbreaking friendship as they work through the stages of a plan to relieve Anthony of his illness and his life. Rabe creates a passionate depiction of four people confronted with the reality of a loved one’s fight with death and a compelling dramatic event that poses the question: “What would you do?”   “A moving and enlightening experience.” —Backstage   “Completely gripping. This life and death tale questions the moral implications involved with assisted suicide, and the honor behind the action. A serious and provocative night at the theatre.” —Theasy  Praise for David Rabe   “Few contemporary dramatists have dealt with violence, physical and psychological, more impressively than Rabe.” —Kirkus Reviews   “A remarkable storyteller.” —Chicago Tribune   “Rabe’s mastery of dialogue is the equal of Pinter and Mamet put together . . . full of a measured Mafia formality played against Jacobean terrors, blood lust, horror and revenge raised to an unlikely poetry dazed by equally unlikely insights.” —The Boston Globe

    Sahra ChristIn a world of relatively extreme interconnection, narratives have the same power on and in our brains, but their source is most of the times distant, fake or simply irrelevant to us....You can see that you immediately try to "understand" the "story" in a time, space and emotions (intentions) fabric. It is brought to you via language and the story is your narrative. The sentences seem incomplete, but why should there be any connection at all? It's just random sentences through a medium after all.

    A double bill of plays from the frontline of climate change – an epic portrait of Britain in the grip of unprecedented and catastrophic floods.
    In On the Beach, glaciologist Will has followed in his father's footsteps, dedicating himself to studying climate change. Back from Antarctica, he visits his parents on the Norfolk coast. With catastrophic flooding growing more likely by the day, he has news that forces long-submerged secrets to rise to the surface.
    In Resilience, Will, freshly appointed as a scientific advisor, is in Westminster and he's out of his depth. Surrounded by ministers manoeuvring to impress, and with the threat of environmental disaster, can he get them to listen before it's too late?
    Impressive in scale and chilling as a prediction of our immediate future, the two plays are complementary but can also stand alone.
    Steve Waters' The Contingency Plan was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2009, and shortlisted for the John Whiting Award. It was revived, in this fully revised and updated version, at Sheffield Theatres in 2022, directed by Caroline Steinbeis and Chelsea Walker.
    'An urgent wake-up call... for sheer emotional intensity, has no rival on the London stage... Waters' massive achievement is to have made the most important issue of our times into engrossing theatre' - Guardian
    'A triumph' - Evening Standard
    'Thrilling... masterly... a stunning theatrical knock-out' - Daily Telegraph
    'The first and best British play on climate change' - Time Out

    The emotion and experience of parents' lives is indelible. The physical loss is heart wrenching, however the human psyche holds the memory bank that overpowers our physical presence. In our mind's eye, the presence of our lost parents is just as real, just as vivid, the emotion even more pronounced, even more valued and cherished. There are no physical boundaries that can intervene in the experience of physically loving and safeguarding such precious relationships. This tribute goes way beyond the realms of such deep seated sentiment. In spite of the physical Adieu, their lives continues to be honored and to be an integral part of the lives of their loved ones here on earth. It is one whose significance  should be not only communicated should be not only communicated but most importantly emulated by mankind.An Author's Republic audio production.
