Clifford Jones Livres
Jo Clifford est une voix essentielle du théâtre contemporain, reconnue pour ses contributions marquantes qui ont aidé à placer le drame écossais sur la carte internationale. Son œuvre est célébrée pour son exploration profonde de l'expérience humaine et des enjeux sociétaux, marquée par un style narratif distinctif. Clifford a franchi un cap révolutionnaire en devenant la première dramaturge trans ouvertement à faire produire une pièce dans le West End de Londres, influençant profondément la représentation théâtrale. Sa capacité à adapter des textes classiques et à créer des récits originaux témoigne d'une approche polyvalente et puissante de l'art dramatique.
An expert on Roman frontier infrastructure, he has conducted extensive research of Hadrian's Wall, and is the author of Hadrian's Coastal Route: Ravenglass to Bowness-on-Solway (also published by The History Press).
An empire gone wrong; an empire completely gone, in fact. A nation with delusional ideas of its place in the world, making poor choices, involved in clumsy foreign adventures, constantly on the edge of war.At home, class divides are stark yet all attention is on a Duke’s ceremonial marriage. And surging through the chaos, the absurdities of masculinity threaten to destroy everything.An epic fable set in the faraway Spanish Golden Age, Jo Clifford's play Losing Venice is a joyously original, witty take-down of dangerously daft machismo and the deranged behaviour of countries that have lost an empire and still not yet found a role…First seen at the 1985 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Losing Venice was revived at the Orange Tree, Richmond, in 2018.
