| Publisher Description: The first collection of plays by one of France's most prominent playwrights Overboard: Combines Shakespearian tragedy, Aristophanic farce and a Chekhovian drama of lives consumed and memories that fade. Le Progrès, Situation Vacant: The play builds to a climax which powerfully captures a mind under siege, bombarded by a cacophony of voices and tormented by guilt. (Independent); Dissident, Goes Without Saying and Nina, That's Something Else: These two plays bring to a summit the art of suggestions...Two fables in which prosaic everyday life is captured, at times fraught with pathos, often compassionate. (L'Humanité ); A Smile on the End of the Line: A six-part invention which interweaves half a dozen plot lines to bring life and speed into the manufacturing sector. (Daily Telegraph) |
