What do I know? I would check it out if it was playing in town. ( ) I picked up this play when I was in New York because of my fondness for Red Light Winter. Overall, the play is one extended monologue - yet it's done in such a way that it seems that producing it would be difficult, which would explain why I haven't heard of it being done more often. It's based around a tragic accident in a family in the Chicago area and the theme to me seemed to be finding closure. I thought the play was good, but slightly off - definitely not on caliber with some of Rapp's other work. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"Fifteen years ago I killed my sister." So begins Adam Rapp's highly acclaimed playNocturne, in which a 32-year-old former piano prodigy recounts the tragic events that tore his family apart. With a keen eye for human relationships and a deft ear for language, Rapp explores the aftershock of this unimaginable event. The father is so incapable of forgiveness he puts a gun in his son's mouth; the mother so shattered, she deserts the family and eventually takes leave of her sanity altogether; the son--only 17 years old at the time--sets out for New York City. There, he seeks an uneasy refuge in books and reinvents himself as a writer. Across the decade and a half that follows he tries to cope with the ramifications of his own anguish and estrangement while making a desperate search for redemption. A devastating, elegant, and gripping dissection of the American dream,Nocturne signals a brave new voice in American theater. No library descriptions found. |
