Brothers of the Brush
Author(s):
Jimmy Murphy
Lauded as one of the year's best in London, this remarkable first play is a gripping study of shifting alliances fueled by cut-throat economics in the building trades. Three house painters working for a shifty contractor live in states of financial desperation: Lars is a family man with a crippling mortgage; Hemo has five kids and a drinking problem, and Jack has just taken out a loan. When Lars, not Jack, is asked to be the foreman on the upcoming factory job, a strike and a bloody battle for survival are triggered. "Do not, repeat, do not miss."-London Sunday, Times. "Tremendous. . . . Shares with Skylight the title of Best New Play in London."-London Guardian. "Riveting."-London Evening Star. "A brush with genuine talent. "-London Independent. "A masterpiece of carefully observed naturalistic writing, of unforced political irony and cleverly concealed emotion. . . . Characters are brilliantly drawn."-London Daily Mail.
