• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Four acclaimed plays by the Nobel laureate, including his Obie Award-winning "masterpiece" ( The New Yorker ).

In Dream on Monkey Mountain, a poor hermit on a Caribbean island tears through the market in a drunken rage. Taken away to sober up in jail, he dreams he has become a healer, walking from village to village and tending to the sick. His companion seeks to exploit his power. Yet the half awake hermit is determined to heal his deceitful friend, his jailer, and his jail-mates-and to become a leader for his people. Three of Derek's Walcott's most popular short plays are also included in this volume: Ti-Jean and His Brothers; Malcochon, or The Six in the Rain; and The Sea at Dauphin. In an expansive introductory essay, "What the Twilight Says," the playwright explains his founding of the seminal dramatic company where these works were first performed, the Trinidad Theatre Workshop.
