A fierce and devastating fable about enforced silence - commissioned and premiered by Paines Plough; one of Britains leading new-writing companies; to open their This Other England season at the Menier Chocolate Factory in London. Two houses; each perched on a mountain top; stare at each other across a deep valley. A man and a woman talk about the small things - parquet floor zigzagging down corridors; the memory of mothers breasts; brown sauce and soggy chips. But these minutiae disguise a bigger story of brutality and unfaltering loyalty which emerges horrifically through the chit chat. Walsh once again proves himself an inspired wordsmith - Daily Telegraph Walshs beautiful; terrible play... is a small play about the big things and the writing is harrowingly precise and poetic - Guardian

Mahalo.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy CustomerIt is really good.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Unmatchable and IrreplaceableBy Lawrence A. SchenbeckI have used this with my undergraduate music students and also for my own research. Plus; Ive caught myself reading it just for the pleasure. The selections are not only representative; tracing a broad; deep history of Americas many musics; they also often speak vividly; with voices we already known or have always wanted to meet. Just a terrific book.
