- Kurztext
- 'He is a Chekhov of our time: holding his characters with as much humanity, compassion, humor and love - but without holding back his scathing indictment of deeply entrenched, systemic injustices and inequities.' - David SchwimmerThe Inequalities combines three plays from British author and director Alexander Zeldin into a trilogy that tells new stories of love, compassion and resilience for our time of austerity.Contextualised with an essay before each play and an in-depth interview with the author, Zeldin's three pieces present intimate stories of work, home and community in a radical form of realism. Written after extensive research across the United Kingdom, and involving people affected by the central themes of the plays, The Inequalities goes beyond social chronicle, achieving a timeless portrait of humanity under duress. This is theatre that goes behind the mirror of our time to reveal the core of the collective human experience of being alive.Beyond Caring: This desolate, quietly intense devised drama gets under your skin and into your bones... unforgettable. (The Times)LOVE:"e;Gripping, amusing, uncomfortable, desperately moving. Zeldin shows us friction but also kindness and dignity and lots of love without turning sugary."e; (The Times) Faith, Hope and Charity:"e;This is that rare thing: a necessary play that suggests Zeldin has taken on the role of the Victorian Henry Mayhew in compassionately documenting the lives of the urban poor."e; (The Guardian)
