Synopsis

Hilarious, brutal and tragic, Delirium is a radical re-interpretation of The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky's classic and compelling tale of family rivalries. The play is the result of a collaboration between acclaimed company theatre O and award-winning playwright Enda Walsh.
The Karamazovs are a train wreck waiting to happen. A hated father and his sons battle it out over women, money and God. They don't so much live as burn up. Behind them lurks a servant, taking note of it all; and to the side, two beautiful women, clinging onto impossible loves.
This volume includes illustrations by Paddy Molloy.
'a heady brew of lush phrasemaking, puppetry, rock music and whirling physicality that distils Dostoevsky's battle of good and evil into a couple of hours of demented theatrics. Not everyone's cup of tea, to be sure, but it catches how life can be petty, grubby and profound - often all the same time' - Telegraph
'unmissable... as brave, as searingly true and as epic as the original' - Sunday Independent, Ireland
Disponible depuis: 04/05/2016.
Longueur d'impression: 80 pages.

    Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, FRS was Poet Laureate of Great Britain and Ireland during much of Queen Victoria's reign and remains one of the most popular British poets."Tithonus" doesn't mean a whole lot without the knowledge that the speaker is a mythological character who was loved by a goddess and was granted immortality, but not immortal youth. Since the gods could not take back their gifts, he was doomed to slowly suffer the extremes of decay as he grew ever older and older. (Summary by Leonard Wilson)

    A man falls in love with America and leaves his wife and children for fifty years of love and adventure with Sam.
    'startling... Having dealt in the past with the politics of sex, Churchill puts the sexuality of politics centre stage' - Guardian
    'radiates quiet fury... Churchill's focus and target is America's broader foreign policies and Britain's supposed complicity in them... her play is a phenomenon: a very topical manifestation of mistrust, anxiety and, yes, anger' - The Times
    'a smoulderingly droll and deadly allegorical conceit... wickedly witty' - Independent
    'No other writer can achieve what Churchill now does, which is to convey a universe of feeling in a minimal, stripped back artistry. Though completely dissimilar to Beckett and Pinter, she is surely now in their class' - Whatsonstage.com
