Articoli correlati a The Knot of the Heart
"Why has this happened to us? Things like this don't happen to families like ours."
Beautiful and privileged, Lucy is enjoying a burgeoning career in television. But her social drug habit has become a serious addiction, casting a dark shadow over her future happiness. As her charmed life begins to slip away Lucy comes to realize that the devoted support of her family does not come without a price.
With themes of love, family and addiction, The Knot of the Heart explores the creeping onset of self-destruction beneath a veneer of respectability. Full of David Eldridge's trademark lyricism within everyday family life and interaction, this is a play where emotions are high and relationships are sensitively written. Ultimately hopeful and redemptive, The Knot of the Heart is atmospheric and poetic without undermining the all-too-believable characters' realism.

Recensione:
David Eldridge's moving new play...greatly heightens our understanding of the addictive personality...[a] compassionately inquiring play.
- Michael Billington, Guardian
Powerful family drama...This is a finely written, strong play which has many sensitive moments and its message pulls no punches...A subject that touches the heart.
- Paul Callen, Daily Express
David Eldridge's superb...play is the most painful and persuasive account of addiction I have ever encountered... It's a challenging play, but exceptionally rewarding and illuminating...There is real enlightenment on offer here, as well as tentative hope.
- Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph
A dramatic tour de force...Eldridge's strengths shine through in his meticulous depiction of addiction and in his care to prevent the audience from passing easy moral judgement.
- Robert Shore, Metro (London)
Eldridge does not duck painful truths but nevertheless provides a modicum of hope as the three women face up to them. By delving unflinchingly into a specific, extreme case, he casts a fierce light on many a 'normal' family.
--- Heather Neill, The Stage
