Jay Taylor

The Acedian Pirates (NHB Modern Plays) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A play that challenges our understanding of mythology, and forces us to ask vital questions about military occupation.

"And we believe we're helping, we really do. But we've been 'helping' people for thousands of years and the divided land has stayed divided. We're still at war."

acedia: Noun, from Greek akedia, apathetic listlessness, a moral failing.

Jacob doesn't know why he's here. He's been at war for six years, but nobody will tell him why. The Moon is upstairs and he wants so desperately to talk to her, but they just won't let him. Will she be his salvation?

Jay Taylor's debut play, The Acedian Pirates premiered at Theatre503, London, in October 2016.

'A writer of real promise' Jeremy Herrin

'Very funny and very powerful' Hilary Mantel
