Caroline Bird Boeken
Caroline Bird is een dichter en toneelschrijver wiens werk meesterlijk humor, melancholie en onverwachte wendingen met elkaar verweeft. Haar poëziebundels, vaak geïnspireerd door sprookjes en romantische verhalen, worden geprezen om hun taalspel en frisse inzichten in adolescentie en vroege volwassenheid. In haar drama's herinterpreteert ze regelmatig klassieke verhalen, waarbij ze tijdloze thema's verkent met een moderne gevoeligheid voor het absurde en sociale commentaar. Haar schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door pit, ontroering en verrassende diepgang.

There's no decent way to say an indecent thing An industrial port of a war-torn city. Women survivors wait to be shipped abroad. Officials come and go. A grandmother, once queen, watches as her remaining family are taken from her one by one. The city burns around them. First performed in 415BC, the play focuses on the human cost of war and the impact of loss. This new Student Edition of The Women of Troy includes a commentary and notes by Emma Cole, which looks at the Trojan War as represented in Greek literature and myth; the context in which Euripides was writing and within which the play was first performed; how it would have been originally staged and dramaturgical challenges met; as well as recent performance history of the play, including Katie Mitchell's iconic 2007 production at the National Theatre. Euripides' great anti-war play is published here in Don Taylor's classic translation.
