Description for Terrorism
Paperback. "Terrorism" portrays six disparate scenes from urban life, but by the end it is apparent that these apparently random situations are in fact linked by an almost invisible thread, subtly indicating that we bear responsibility for one another, even in our soulless urban limbo. Num Pages: 96 pages. BIC Classification: DD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 133 x 6. Weight in Grams: 81.
The extraordinary debut play from the Royal Court by two brothers from Siberia.
A series of seemingly unrelated scenes portray the ordinary frustrations of everyday life: office workers bickering, a couple committing adultery, grannies complaining about their husbands. But the scenes unfold to reveal the mistrust and dysfunction that have become the norm, in Russia and elsewhere.
Terrorism by the Presnyakov Brothers was first performed, in this English translation by Sasha Dugdale, at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2003.
