Mostly short plays from the award-winning playwright; the title play is full length, but the rest are one-acts. The author, as usual, doesn't bother to observe the conventions of theatre, but allows the characters to break through time and space, talk to the audience, back up when they need to, and move forward when it's time. This is one of the things that makes him great; when they show him a rule, he immediately breaks it. Very few of these plays observe the standard "three-act" beginning, middle, and end structure. They begin when they begin, end when they end, and wander wherever they want to in the middle. Somehow they manage to get where they are going, and the characters often have no "arc" that's worth mentioning. In spite of such blatant disregard for the "rules" of his art, most of what he does work. Favorite line - If I had a baby, I wouldn't let it hang glide. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The setting is Sicily, the island where the gods once spent their holidays. The principals are a newlywed couple in their forties, who hope to meld the children of their previous marriages into a brave, new, postnuclear family. But in John Guare's vastly original and eerily beautiful new play, any family may be reconstructed as a tragic pantheon, enacting passion as ancient as the strata of an archaeological dig and as catastrophic as an earthquake.
