Plays Eight: The Bite of the Night; Brutopia; The Forty; Wonder and Worship in the Dying Ward by Howard Barker
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.1MB
Overview: The Trojan legend and the character of Helen form the basis for The Bite of the Night. As with all Barker's mythical and historical works, it is overlaid and undermined by a contemporary narrative, in this instance the search for the origin of the erotic undertaken by the redundant university teacher Dr Savage and his nihilistic student, Hogbin. Through all twelve Troys, Savage and Helen struggle with a passion both intellectual and physical, and the idea of beauty is refined to a terrifying degree.
In Brutopia Barker's controversial portrait of the humanist Thomas More is shaped around his strained relationship with his daughter Cecilia, here discovered to be the author of a counter-text to her parent's infamous Utopia. Cecilia's wit and cruelty mark her out as one of Barker's least compromising and heroic young women.
The Forty is a significant departure from Barker's dramatic practice, his investment in language reduced to a few phrases which punctuate detailed scenes of conflict and solitude. Physical movement, and intense concentration on gesture show the author's flair for visuality in a new and surprising way.
Genre: Fiction > General Fiction/Classics
