Description
Four plays inspired by and originating on the European stage from one of Britain's most important playwrights. Three Kingdoms was presented at Teater NO99 in Tallinn, Estonia on 17 September 2011, before opening at the Munich Kammerspiele, Germany, on 15 October 2011. The Trial of Ubu premiered at the Schauspielhaus Essen in a co-production with the Toneelgroep Amsterdam, while Morning was developed in partnership between the Lyric Hammersmith, London, and the Junges Theater, Göttingen. These plays showcase Simon Stephens' unique style, tackling themes such as banality of evil, justice, and the human condition. Carmen Disruption, a reimagining of Bizet's opera, premiered at the Deutsche Spielhaus in spring 2014, before its UK premiere at the Almeida, London, in April 2015. With its diverse range of works, this collection offers a glimpse into Stephens' artistic vision and his ability to craft thought-provoking dramas.
