Riassunto

Three plays for one actress all featuring mothers on the edge. Jordan tells the true story of Shirley Jones, who kills her baby boy rather than have him taken away by his abusive father. The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret alternates stories of two women, both of whom lose their sons, one murdered, the other a runaway. Also includes Unsuspecting Susan.

Informazioni sull?autore

Moira Buffini & Anna Reynolds JORDAN: premiere 1992: Writers Guild Award for Best Fringe Play. Revived 1994. Edinburgh Fest 1998 and 2010.

Catherine Johnson wrote the script for Mamma Mia!, and, before that, three plays for the Bush Theatre, London, between 1989 and 1998

Stewart Permutt UNSUSPECTING SUSAN: premiere: Kings Head Theatre, London, 2003; Theater E59E, New York, 2005 The premiere productions in London and New York starred Celia Imrie in a 'consummately effortless performance that might suggest that no acting is going on at all... The play is a soft-spoken but tough piece for a world where everyone is suspect' (Sunday Times) 'This is a play that defines as well as any I have seen our post-9/11 times' Jewish Chronicle. Stewart Permutt has been writing and acting on the Fringe since 1984.
