Riassunto

Jez Butterworth burst onto the theatre scene aged twenty-five with Mojo, 'one of the most dazzling Royal Court main stage debuts in years' (Time Out). This first volume of his Collected Plays contains that play plus the three that followed, as well as two short monologues published here for the first time. Everything that precedes Jerusalem, 'unarguably one of the best dramas of the twenty-first century' (Guardian).

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Combines the verbal menace of Harold Pinter and the physical violence of Quentin Tarantino. --The Sunday Times on Mojo.

This rich, dense, characterful play confirms the writer's early promise...a work that is by turns deeply puzzling and strangely beguiling. --WhatsOnStage.com on The Night Heron.

Testosterone taut, a sense of menace invades every conversation...the black comedy never misses. --Time Out on The Winterling.

Flashes with jokes, shines with images and oozes menacing bonhomie. --The Tribune on Parlour Song
