Sarah Rühle Knihy

Sarah Ruhl je americká dramatička, jejíž tvorba proniká do hloubky lidské zkušenosti. Její hry mistrovsky proplétají všední aspekty každodenního života s nadčasovými mýtickými tématy lásky a války. Původně se věnovala poezii, což je patrné v její bohaté a evokativní práci s jazykem, která dodává jejím dramatickým dílům jedinečnou poetickou kvalitu. Ruhl je ceněna pro své živé a dobrodružné divadelní práce, které s dojemnou silou juxtaponují realitu a mýtus.

This volume is the first publication of Sarah Ruhl, “a playwright with a unique comic voice, perspective, and sense of theater” (Variety), who is fast leaving her mark on the American stage. In the award-winning Clean House—a play of uncommon romance and uncommon comedy—a maid who hates cleaning dreams about creating the perfect joke, while a doctor who treats cancer leaves his heart inside one of his patients. This volume also includes Eurydice, Ruhl’s reinvention of the tragic Greek tale of love and loss, together with a third play still to be named.Sarah Ruhl received the prestigious Susan Smith Blackburn Prize in 2004 for her play The Clean House, which has been produced at Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, Wilma Theatre in Philadelphia, South Coast Repertory Theatre in Costa Mesa, and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in Washington, DC. Her play Eurydice has been produced at Madison Repertory Theatre and Berkeley Repertory Theatre.
