Synopsis
Ulster American
$15.99 Published by Methuen
2 Male 1 Female
Winner the Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award
Would you mind if I asked you a troubling question?
Jay is the Oscar-winning actor taking the lead in a new play that connects with his Irish roots
Leigh is the ambitious director who will do anything to get noticed
Ruth is the Northern Irish playwright whose voice must be heard
The stage is set for great success, but when the three meet to discuss the play's challenges and provocations, a line is crossed and the heated discussion quickly escalates to a violent climax
Exploring consent, abuses of power and the confusions of cultural identity, Ulster American is confrontational and brutally funny
And not for the faint of heart
Published to coincide with the world premiere at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in summer 2018 for which it won the Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award
