Beschreibung

<div>This second collection of plays by Simon Stephens, winner of the 2005 Olivier Award for Best New Play for <i>On the Shore of the Wide World</i>, perfectly showcases the development of one of the most exciting and impressive theatre talents of recent years. The range of plays in this volume displays a tough sensibility and a courage to confront the more unsettling challenges of our times.</div><div><i>One Minute</i>, first produced in 2003 and revived in London in 2008, has an uncomfortable resonance as it follows five characters variously affected by the disappearance of Daisy, an 11-year-old girl, from Seven Dials, Covent Garden. <br><i>Country Music</i> spotlights four fateful moments in the life of Jamie Carris during and after the prison sentences he has served for glassing one man and for killing another. <br><i>Motortown</i>, written in response to the War on Terror, is a blistering account of a young soldier's return home from Basra to an England he no longer recognises or connects with. <br><i>Pornography</i> captures Britain as it crashes from the euphoria and promise of the 2012 Olympics announcement into the devastation of the London bombings of 7/7.</div><div>The final play, <i>Sea Wall</i>, is a one-act monologue about grief, following the drowning of a young child.</div>
