Patrick Marber

    19. září 1964

    Patrick Marber je britský dramatik, jehož hry zkoumají komplexní stránky lidských vztahů, často s cynickým a břitkým humorem. Jeho tvorba se zaměřuje na témata jako jsou svádění, zrada a hledání pravdy v mezilidských interakcích. Marberův styl je charakteristický ostrými dialogy a psychologickou hloubkou postav, které odrážejí jeho vlastní zkušenosti s uměleckým světem i životními výzvami. Jeho díla často přepisují klasické náměty do moderního prostředí, čímž podtrhují jejich nadčasovou relevanci.

      Inspired by Moliere's farcical, tragic, anarchic Don Juan (1665), Patrick Marber's Don Juan in Soho transports the action to contemporary London and follows the debauched protagonist's final adventures. Don Juan in Soho premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in December 2006.

      'A beautiful play about the beautiful game.' Independent 'At its heart a dark, tender and beautifully wrought study in male desperation.' Time Out 'Patrick Marber is to modern British drama what Michael Owen was to our footie.' Daily Mail 'Marber, in this riveting new piece, uses the world of non-league, semi-pro football to explore issues of trust and loyalty and the larger division between individual ambition and the collective ethic. If big issues emerge naturally from the action, it is because Marber is writing about a world he knows intimately. Everything feels right.' Guardian 'A triumph. It's Marber's night. At 50, he has found his voice again, and it roars.' Daily Telegraph 'After nine years out of the game, Marber is back in the Champions League.' Mail on Sunday
