Getting Attention

by Martin Crimp

Jadis, la demoiselle sur le balcon écoutait un aspirant tapi en bas, dans l'ombre. Il lui chantait des sérénades ou lui contait fleurette. Aujourd'hui, depuis le balcon du dessus, les voisins épientNick et Carol, le jeune couple du rez-de-chaussée. Mais leur vie amoureuse est contrariée par la présence de Sharon, la petite fille que Carol a eue d'un autre homme.

About the author

Martin Andrew Crimp (born 14 February 1956 in Dartford, Kent) is a British playwright.

Crimp is sometimes described as a practitioner of the "in-yer-face" school of contemporary British drama, although he rejects the label. He is notable for the astringency of his dialogue, a tone of emotional detachment, a bleak view of human relationships – none of his characters experience love or joy – and latterly, a concern for theatrical form and language rather than an interest in narrative.
