📱 eBook en inglés RICHARD NELSON: PLAYS 2

Three Plays of Adolescence:
Goodnight Children Everywhere; Frannys Way; Madame Melville

Goodnight Children Everywhere
Olivier Award for Best Play, 2000
Exile - both literal and emotional - has been a haunting preoccupation for this dramatist. And with all themes of displacement and loss comes the yearning for a sense of place, for those attachments we cannot always rationalize but know as home. In Goodnight Children Everywhere, the safe harbor of home has been dynamited by war... A disturbing and lovely domestic drama about the loss of childhood.
New York Observer

Frannys Way
Boundaries warp and melt in the dense urban heat that pervades Frannys Way, Nelsons sensitively drawn portrait of love in the age of J.D.Salinger. The lines between childhood and adulthood blur disorientatingly for the three generations of characters gathered in a cramped apartment in Greenwich Village at the height of the summer in the 1950s... Nelson continues to give compassionate and insightful life to such erotic waywardness.

Madame Melville
A memory play of wonderful delicacy, tenderness and humour... I left the theatre elated at having discovered such a terrific new play. An exquisite reminder of lost love, innocence and youth. Daily Telegraph

An elegant, tender, beguiling play. Guardian
