The Forty

Work:: The Forty (S780526542)

The Forty comprises forty short plays written by the internationally acclaimed multi-media artist Howard Barker (Honorary Professor of Aberystwyth University Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies). This unique and innovative theatrical event involves the consecutive performances (in approximately two hours, with interval) of forty scenes of extreme emotional tension which are either wordless or involve the refinement of a single spoken phrase, in seductive negotiations for the most profound terms of human life and longing, which explore the necessity and fragility of language in action. Cast includes: Richard Lynch, Roger Owen, Karoline Gritzner.
