Dennis Kelly

    Tento dramatik se zabývá složitými mezilidskými vztahy a morálními dilematy, často s důrazem na psychologickou hloubku postav. Jeho díla se vyznačují pronikavým vhledem do lidské povahy a zkoumají témata viny, zodpovědnosti a následků našich činů. S citem pro dialog a napětí vytváří působivé a provokativní divadelní zážitky. Jeho hry byly přeloženy do mnoha jazyků a uvedeny po celém světě, což svědčí o jejich univerzální přitažlivosti.
