Synopsis
Penhall Plays 2 - Blue/Orange & Dumb Show & Wild Turkey
$27.99
Published by Methuen
Characterised by a taut mood, a grappling with moral dilemmas, and tough, eloquent dialogue, punctuated by outrageously comic moments
The plays in this volume are ...
Blue/Orange - an incendiary tale of race, madness and power set in a psychiatric hospital
Dumb Show sees TV star Barry caught in a tense game of manipulation and entrapment in this satire on the fame game and the media industry
Wild Turkey - a characteristically taut work about the acrimonious relationships of people in a late-night burger bar
"More than any of his peers Penhall has shown a rare aptitude for confronting headline issues of the day, using his gift of the gab as a dramatist to interrogate their underlying complexities and contradictions" ~ Daily Telegraph
