{"product_id":"marina-carr-plays-3-three-1","title":"Marina Carr: Plays 3: Three","description":"Review  Not only one of the finest women playwrights of her generation, but simply one of the finest playwrights of any generation. ― Irish Times  What marks out Carr's work is her knowing compassion for the damaged, the distraught, for those who howl and rage as they rush towards their inevitable doom. ― Guardian  Marina Carr goes to a deep place that has not just to do with society now but that touches an inner tragedy of existence. The female quality of her writing comes through not only in the way she writes about women, it's in the physicality in her writing. She is right in there with the cycles of life, with the blood and the dirt. ― Joyce McMillan, quoted in the New York Times  Product Description  This third richly varied collection of plays by Marina Carr was published to coincide with the Royal Shakespeare Company's premiere of Hecuba at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in September 2015.  Sixteen Possible Glimpses imagines sixteen fleeting moments in Anton Chekhov's short life and work. Phaedra Backwards retells the Phaedra myth to discover what shaped her. The Map of Argentina offers a meditation on love and what happens when it is denied, or pursued and hunted down. Hecuba was written in reaction to the bad press this Trojan queen receives, and reimagines how she may have suffered and reacted. Indigo is a dark and passionate romance amongst fairies, demons, ghouls and every sort of fantastic creature out of folklore and myth.  About the Author  Marina Carr was brought up in County Offaly. A graduate of University College Dublin, she has written extensively for the theatre. She has taught at Villanova, Princeton, and currently teaches in the School of English, Dublin City University. Awards include the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, the Macaulay Fellowship, the E. M. Forster Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Wyndham Campbell Prize. She lives in Dublin with her husband and four children.","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53250088468867,"sku":"9780571328819N","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/files\/a0c7e460-9976-48ef-a2ff-51c9eb0f4994.jpg?v=1727725198","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/marina-carr-plays-3-three-1","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
