Bartlett Mike - Earthquakes In London - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: It's Cabaret we've got our heads down and we're dancing and drinking as fast as we can. The enemy is on its way but this time it doesn't have guns and gas it has storms and earthquakes fire and brimstone. You were the glimmer. At the end of the tunnel. And you went out. Earthquakes in London is a fast and furious metropolitan crash of people scenes and decades as three sisters attempt to navigate their dislocated lives and loves while their dysfunctional father a brilliant scientist predicts global catastrophe. The play deals through amplified theatricality with a range of contemporary issues from population growth to climate change. An all - pervasive fear of the future and a guilty pleasure in the excesses of the present drive Mike Bartlett's epic rollercoaster of a play from 1968 to 2525 and back again. Earthquakes in London first published in 2010 and has subsequently become a much - produced and widely studied drama text. It is published here as a Student Edition alongside commentary and notes by Bridget Escolme. The ancillary material is geared at students and includes: - an introduction outlining the play's plot character themes context and performance history - the full text of the play - a chronology of the playwright's life and work - extensive textual notes - questions for further study - an interview with the playwright
