Brian Friel
This free-flowing cascade of dialogue, as beautiful and sparkling as the Ballymore Lake in bright sunlight, will scoop your audience up into the world of that most gifted playwright, Brian Friel. Two commentators on either side of the stage speak without emotion about a seventeen-year-old girl and a boy a half year older who are on their way to study before examinations and, perhaps, talk about marriage. Dispassionately, as the power and beauty of this love scene develop, the commentators tell us that the young lovers will soon be in a fatal accident. In the magic of this masterpiece, we see the lovers not only in this moment but in all time, and we share in their triumph for they are, as the subtitle suggests, winners. Losers is about older lovers, and a critic called it an "up-roariously funny tragedy." Bare stage w/platform.
