Between East & West
ISBN: 9780881450774 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. BETWEEN EAST AND WEST portrays a middle-aged Czech EmigrE couple struggling to adapt to a new country. "The title of Richard Nelson's unsettling new play is deliberately misleading. East-West politics do, however, provide the backdrop and premise of the play: It concerns the experience of a Czech couple forced for political reasons to emigrate to New York. The problems they face in exile, Nelson suggests, have as much to do with the residual gap between America and Europe as with that between East and West. But the focus is on the conflict between Gregor and Erna, the two exiles,... BETWEEN EAST AND WEST portrays a middle-aged Czech EmigrE couple struggling to adapt to a new country.

Richard Nelson uses the familiar tale of Rip Van Winkle as the basis for his epic study of American agrarian reform, the Industrial Revolution, and the labor movement. ..".The play has a smart, engaging premise. Rip Van Winkle's sleep and waking are used to frame a variety of themes: men and women, parents and children, alcoholism, superstition, and, above all, the battle between industry and agriculture in the social history of the Hudson Valley. The style is also interesting: a kind of terse Bondian dialogue in short Brechtian scenes which allow the audience to find its own path...
