Plays 1: Whale Music / A Little Like Drowning / Two Planks and a Passion / Made in Bangkok

Rate this book
Anthony Minghella's writing "sets a standard of emotional truth and clarity so sublimely high that everything around it looks stale, flat, tawdry and obvious" (The Times)



Whale Music is: "genuinely tender, poignant and spikily anti-amle all at once" (Daily Mail); A Little Like Drowning "makes you laugh, makes you cry and makes you think" (Guardian); Two Planks and A Passion "is one of the best new plays I have seen in the past decade" (Financial Times)

Esu skaitęs daugiau mažiau viską, ką Anthony Minghella yra parašęs ir “Plays 1” dar kartą perskaičiau po maždaug dvidešimties metų. Šiame tome yra vienas man gražiausių Minghella darbų - “A Little Like Drowning”. Keista ir gaila, kad šalia jo epinių kino scenarijų kaip “The English Patient”, “Talented Mr. Ripley”, “Cold Mountain” ir t.t., jo kamerinės, melancholiškos ir labai gražios pjesės dažnai yra užmirštamos.
