Six New Plays by Irish Women
KORTE INHOUD
Emma Donoghue, author of the best - selling Slammerkin, explores the erotic lesbian adventures of Anne Lister, Regency rake of female persuasion, in I Know My Own Heart. Michelle Read's The Lost Letters of a Victorian Lady is a highly comic, farcical romp over the minefield of Victorian sensibilities, and Irish republican sensitivities. New York City resident Siofra Campbell's Couch, a cool comedy of intimate ruthlessness and barter, is about love, desire, anxiety, and home furnishings in post-tiger Ireland. Veteran writer Anne Le Marquand Hartigan's La Corbiere is a powerful, poetic ritual of remembrance for the lost and the drowned voices of war-torn Europe. Dolores Walshe offers up In the Talking Dark, racial bigotry in apartheid South Africa. While Mary Elizabeth Burke-Kennedy presents a highly entertaining and witty theatrical refiguring of the great heroes and heroines of ancient Ireland in Women in Arms.
