David Harrower

    1 januari 1966

    David Harrower is een Schotse toneelschrijver wiens vroege werk aanzienlijke kritische en publieke bijval oogstte. Zijn schrijven duikt in de complexiteit van menselijke relaties met rauwe emotionele eerlijkheid. Harrowers kenmerkende stijl wordt gekenmerkt door zijn poëtische taal en zijn doordringende inzicht in de psychologische diepten van zijn personages. Zijn toneelstukken resoneren bij het publiek vanwege hun intellectuele strengheid en krachtige impact.

    • Divadelní hra. Tři mladí muzikanti z Liverpoolu se roku 1960 vydají do Hamburku, aby si tu vysloužili ostruhy hraním v klubu, který teprve nedávno změnil podobu a místo striptérek zaměstnal britský bigbeat. Hádají se o postel, sní o hamburských holkách a o úspěchu. Neúspěch ale pronásleduje kapelu až do okamžiku, kdy frontman Paul, inspirován tím, co se dozvěděl o historii i přítomnosti města, vystihne správný moment provokace a oblékne si esesácké holínky. Cena za takový úspěch je ale vysoká, a promítne se nejostřeji právě do vztahů mezi trojicí protagonistů.

      Historická freska ze skotského venkova. V lyrickém oparu zde probíhá drama prostinké ženy sedláka a milovníka koní. Ta naváže podivuhodné přátelství s mlynářem, jenž je u vesničanů v opovržení a nenávisti (což je v tomto prostředí tradice, nic osobního). Tento relativně vzdělaný a emancipovaný člověk v ní rozdmýchá spontánní touhu poznávat svět, pronikat k podstatám okolních jevů, které zbytek vesnice bere za samozřejmé. Filosofické vzplanutí ji ale staví do podobné opozice vůči běžným lidem, v jaké je mlynář, což v ní budí potřebu přestrukturovat svůj život, a to i za cenu vraždy.
