Caroline Bird Livres
Caroline Bird est une poète et dramaturge dont l'œuvre entrelace magistralement humour, mélancolie et rebondissements inattendus. Ses recueils de poésie, souvent inspirés par les contes de fées et les histoires romantiques, sont célébrés pour leur jeu linguistique et leurs aperçus frais sur l'adolescence et le début de l'âge adulte. Dans son théâtre, elle réinterprète fréquemment des récits classiques, explorant des thèmes intemporels avec une sensibilité moderne pour l'absurde et la critique sociale. Son écriture se caractérise par sa verve, sa poignance et sa profondeur surprenante.

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.
