Monica Wood: Three Plays by Monica Wood, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From award-winning novelist Monica Wood comes a masterful collection of three plays that shattered attendance records and captured hearts across New England. ​​​​​​​
In this powerful trilogy, Wood explores the complex bonds of family, the weight of secrets, and the transformative power of human connection. From a tense standoff between mill owners and workers during a bitter strike, to a skeptical professor's unexpected journey into the supernatural, to a family's loving deception of their miraculously recovered father, each play delves deep into the heart of human relationships.

These acclaimed works feature:

• Papermaker: A labor dispute becomes personal when a mill owner and his daughter confront the human cost of their decisions
• The Half-Light: A rational college professor questions everything she believes about life and death after meeting an unusual psychic
• Saint Dad: Three siblings navigate love, guilt, and family bonds as they try to protect their father from a difficult truth

Written by the 2024 recipient of the Sara Josepha Hale Award for excellence in New England literary arts, these plays have earned both critical acclaim and unprecedented audience attendance at Portland Stage.
