Product Description
"Marina Carr: Plays 1" introduces the work of a major new voice in playwrighting. Carr has been praised for the beauty and uniqueness of her language, was cited by "The Independent" as "a hugely valuable dramatic voice," and has even been compared to Eugene O'Neill. A prominent voice in British letters who has been building momentum in the United States for the past decade, Carr's four critically acclaimed works are gathered together here for the first time.

Marina Carr brings to Irish drama a sometimes touching, always painful, female centred slant. The plays' virtues are numerous - insightful, unflinching, evocative. It is great to see an Irish female dramatist receiving so much critical recognition. There is, however, something inherently destructive in the Irish women that Carr portrays as if it were impossible for any Irish woman to break out of that pattern. For this reason she does not have the vibrancy of other writers such as Anne Devlin or Christina Reid.
