Beschreibung

Stationed on the tense border between Estonia and Russia, Cormack, Findlay and Davies are the first generation of women to ever serve in the British infantry. They've aced physical tests only five per cent of female soldiers can pass - they've been trained to shoot, fight and kill. But everyone around them questions whether they should even be allowed to serve. And now they're about to be tested to their limits.
Kate Bowen's taut, funny and powerful play follows three pioneering young women in the world's most dangerous workplace.
Close Quarters premiered at Sheffield Theatres in 2018, in a co-production between Sheffield Theatres and Stockroom, and directed by Stockroom's Artistic Director Kate Wasserberg. It was chosen as one of the Observer's Top 10 Theatre Shows of 2018.
Verfügbar seit: 12.11.2018.
Drucklänge: 64 Seiten.

    The second month adds tiny dashes of colour.  Nature begins to gently rouse herself for the coming season.  Winter begins to withdraw its raw and elemental fingers in soft remembered surrender to the natural cycle that welcomes Spring.  
    Our classic poets, in 50 poems of inky verse, reveal all manner of events, sights and sounds. Among their ranks are Longfellow, Coleridge, Dickinson, Teasdale, Clare and a wealth of many others, who, with their thoughts and desires express the world in lines of revelation.

    'We're supposed to be assessing their potential as college students, not conducting a quasi-criminal investigation.'
    Out of 37,451 applicants to Eliot University, Angela stands out – but not for the right reasons. An ambiguous event in her past threatens to overshadow her talent, her potential and her future prospects. Can she overcome the prejudices of those judging her application, or is she already tainted beyond redemption?
    Crackling with razor-sharp dialogue, Acceptance asks whether we can ever escape our past, and investigates the destructive side of our search for acceptance. It premiered at Hampstead Theatre Downstairs, London, in 2018.
    Amy Ng's other plays include Shangri-La (Finborough Theatre, London).
    'Funny and compelling... [Amy Ng's] revelations are exciting and feel fresh... powerful' WhatsOnStage on Shangri-La

    Tom Branfoot's This is Not an Epiphany examines inner and outer landscapes that have become inhospitable; where people are 'burnt / by business as usual'. This collection is attentive to shifting landscapes where warehouses spring up on empty land, and the incremental austerities that constitute our living; its lyric absorbs the shocks and crises of survival within them.
