PRE-ORDER Simon Stephens International Plays

细节

“When we travel abroad we see our home with a clarity that we may never have been offered before.” (Simon Stephens)

In this compelling international collection, Olivier and Tony Award-winning playwright Simon Stephens continues his bold interrogation of human fragility, connection, and transformation across cultures and continents.

From the haunting intimacy of A Dark, Dark, Dark, Dark Blue, to the lyrical solitude of Maria, the existential unease of Fortune, and the spectral reckoning of Three Ghosts, Stephens crafts theatrical worlds that transcend geography. These plays-written and premiered in cities from Stuttgart to Tokyo-are united by a restless curiosity and a deep empathy for the lives we lead in silence and in chaos.

Whether collaborating with European directors or writing for stages far from home, Stephens' international work is marked by a fearless embrace of aesthetic diversity and emotional truth. This collection is a testament to his belief that theatre, at its best, is a conversation across borders.
