The first collection from the multi-award-winning American poet and playwright Dan O'Brien, including the award-winning The Body of an American.
The Body of an American (2M)
Two actors embody more than thirty roles in an exhilarating new form of documentary theatre, against a backdrop of some of the world's most iconic images of war.
The House in Hydesville (5F/2M)
At once an exploration of familial abuse and the need for spiritual transcendence, a compelling "true ghost story".
The Cherry Sisters Revisited (5F/1M)
The five Cherry sisters' love of the vaudeville carries them to the bright lights of Broadway. A provocative comedy with music.
The Voyage of the Carcass (1F/2M)
Trapped in the ice at the North Pole, only three members of the doomed Carcass crew survive.
The Dear Boy (1F/3M)
James Flanagan is not a kind teacher. Is he a good teacher? He likes to think so. An intimate and stirring character study of a man forced to face his past, his present, and the life he may still yet live.
The Body of an American is a marvel in elegant construction. A story full of unexpected twists and turns, it captures the nightmare of war and our attempts to comprehend it via a mass media designed to both condemn and celebrate violence. Dan OBrien has written a brilliant gem of a play.
