Synopsis
Dennis Kelly - Plays One - Debris & Osama the Hero & After the End & Love and Money
$21.99 Published by Oberon
The four plays in this collection by Dennis Kelly are linked by their characters' desperate need to believe that there is more to life than the often brutal worlds in which they find themselves ...
Debris finds humour and pathos in a spectactularly dysfunctional family unit
The harrowing Osama the Hero shows a group of neighbours taking ill-defined revenge on an odd-ball teenager in a climate of fear
In After the End a woman discovers she has been rescued from Armageddon by a paranoid ex-colleague
And in a fractured narrative, Love and Money portrays a marriage driven to brutal destruction by financial pressures
'A dramatist blessed with both rare skill and a profound understanding of the way we live now" ~ Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph
