Afficher les exemplaires de cette édition ISBNEmma Donoghue is an award-winning Irish-born playwright, literary historian and novelist.
This first collection of her plays includes Kissing The Witch, Don't Die Wondering, Trespasses, Ladies and Gentlemen, and I Know My Own Heart.
KISSING THE WITCH
Adapted from her book of thirteen revisionist fairy tales of the same name, this play interweaves four classic plots Beauty and the Beast, Donkeyskin, the Goose Girl, the Little Mermaid with an invented one about a desperate girl going to a witch for help. Kissing the Witch finds the gritty in the fantastical, and excavates magic to find what's really going on.
TRESPASSES
Set over three days in 1661, Trespasses is inspired by the judge's own account of one of the tiny handful of witch trials that ever took place in Ireland. It asks why a servant girl who fell into fits would have put the blame on an old beggarwoman but also, more timeless questions about the clashing cultures that have to share a small island country. Trespasses is about faith and superstition, politics and class, sadism and love.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
This play with songs, set mostly in the dressing rooms of busy vaudeville theatres all over North America, was inspired by a real same-sex wedding that took place in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1886. It resurrects a ragtag troupe of emigrants - most notably, male impersonator Annie Hindle, a man's widow and a woman's widower, as the tabloids called her. With a light touch, Ladies and Gentleman explores the ways we perform our roles, both on and off stage.
I KNOW MY OWN HEART
Inspired by the secret coded diaries of Yorkshire gentlewoman Anne Lister, this play subverts all the conventions of Regency romance. Teasing out the entangled lives of mannish, arrogant Lister (nicknamed 'Gentleman Jack') and three of her many lovers, I Know My Own Heart explores the different choices women made in a time of limits and prohibitions.
DON'T DIE WONDERING
When a restaurant cook loses her job because of a homophobic customer, she mounts a one-woman picket in protest. The police officer assigned to protect her is her nemesis from schooldays. This one-act comedy, set in a fictional small town, stages a battle between old and new elements of Irish culture.
