Publisher Description: A programme text edition published to coincide with the world premiere at the Royal Court Theatre, London, on 25 February 2009 I found you. You're here. And I was over there. But now I'm over here. I'm here. You're my brother. I love you When Franz's mother escaped to the West with one of her identical twin boys, she left the other behind. Now, 25 years later, Karl crosses the border in search of his other half. As history takes an unexpected turn, the brothers must struggle to reconnect. Mark Ravenhill's visceral new play examines the hungers released when two countries, separated by a common language, meet again. |
