Articoli correlati a The Night Alive (NHB Modern Plays)
Tommy's not a bad man, he's getting by. Renting a run-down room in his uncle Maurice's house, just about keeping his ex-wife and kids at arm's length and rolling from one get-rich-quick scheme to the other with his pal Doc. Then one day he comes to the aid of Aimee, who's not had it easy herself, struggling through life the only way she knows how. Their past won't let go easily. But together there's a glimmer of hope they could make something more of their lives. Something extraordinary. Perhaps. With inimitable warmth, style and craft, Conor McPherson's new play deftly mines the humanity to be found in the most unlikely of situations.

Recensione:
A beautiful meditation on dependence and redemption.-- The Stage
Superb, vivid and violent... I've rarely seen such a brilliantly fused improvisation on Harold Pinter and David Mamet at once. Five Stars. --whatsonstage.com
Both monstrous and wonderful... demonstrates a tremendous lightness of touch, deftly sketching in the broader social context as well as the beautifully improbable details of his characters' existences. --Metro
McPherson is back to his best... The Night Alive is really a celebration of ordinary people looking out for each other. Maybe that is a kind of magic - but it takes a special kind of play to make us realise that's so. --Time Out
Mordantly funny, occasionally horrifying, strangely tender...defined by sharp knowing dialogue... a compelling tale of people struggling to connect with their incoherent lives. --The Times
Boisterous comedy... aching poignancy ... a spellbinding and absolutely gorgeous new play by one of the true poets of the theatre. --Time Out, New York
