Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

A superb stage version of Pat Barker's award-winning First World War novel... the material - presented through the physical immediacy of theatre - seems to get through to your neurological (as well as emotional, psychological and intellectual) depths... Gutting and unmissable. --Independent

Wright is a writer who specialises in translating real-life characters into truthfully embodied theatrical ones... A powerful stage version of Pat Barker's First World War novel. --The Stage

Nicholas Wright's deeply moving play stays true to Barker's vision while highlighting its own chosen themes of companionship, guilt and inequality... This humane and enriching play raises endless questions about the impact of war on individuals.... Superb. --Guardian

Reseña del editor:

A powerful anthem for the youth of World War One that offers a compassionate look at war and its devastating effects. Adapted from Pat Barker's Booker Prize-nominated novel. Craiglockhart War Hospital, Scotland 1917. Poet and soldier Siegfried Sassoon has been institutionalised in an attempt to undermine his public disapproval of the war. His Army Psychiatrist, Dr William Rivers, has been tasked with returning shell-shocked officers to the trenches, yet under Sassoon's influence, has become tormented by the morality of what is being done in the name of medicine. Produced to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WWI, Regeneration opened at the Royal & Derngate, Northampton, in August 2014, before embarking on a national tour co-produced by Touring Consortium. Nicholas Wright's plays include the acclaimed National Theatre adaptation of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, Mrs Klein, Travelling Light and Vincent In Brixton, which won the Olivier Award for Best New Play in 2003. His writing about the theatre includes Changing Stages: A View of British Theatre in the Twentieth Century, co-written with Richard Eyre. '[a] superb stage version of a work of genius... gutting and unmissable' - Independent 'shocking, tender and grimly funny... gently breaks your heart' - The Times 'deeply moving... [a] humane and enriching play' - Guardian
