Reader archiveLong-awaited companion to 'Death and the Maiden'. Reader is a compulsive, gripping and intense play about a censor who discovers that the subversive novel he is trying to ban is describing his own life and hinting that a terrible fate awaits his son. He must hunt down the author of the book before it becomes a reality. At the heart of the play is a passionate plea for truth and for knowledge of the past; the power of imagination to take over and reshape reality and how the imaginary can erupt in unforeseen ways. Fundamentally, it concerns censorship in all its forms - national, international and, most insidiously, internal... The play contains scenes which have adult language and nudity.
