Böcker av Daniel Keene

I'm a flesher through and through. I do all the fleshers things. Fall in love, cry, laugh, rage to the trance mobs. All the things that back in Newport City they envy us for, all the authentic things that they don't know how to do any more because their DNA is so clean and squeaky. I've got all the feelings.And feelings are trouble. I know that too.Dez is a flesher, scraping a living in the banns of Newport.

What follows will test them to their limits, as they're plunged into the most desperate struggle of their lives.The first in a dazzling new science fiction series from best-selling fantasy author Alison Croggon and acclaimed playwright Daniel Keene.

This is a one-woman play that tells the story of Christie, a homeless woman in a world detached, unforgiving and destructive. It gives voice to the fallen and dispossessed, to those who exist at the edge of safety, at the point of being undone. It speaks of madness, denial, ignorance and free-falling poverty. Utterly devastating, yet written with Daniel Keene's characteristic lyricism, Mother is wrought with tenderness, violence and loneliness in equal measure. (1 act, 1 female).

If you don't know who you are and you don't know where you are headed, you might find yourself spiralling in ever-tightening circles until you come to rest in a nondescript part of town in a crummy two-star hotel, where the service is churlish, the lift doesn't work, the toast is burnt and the pot plants set off your allergies. But keep your expectations low, really low, and, who knows? -- you might be pleasantly surprised by how everything works out. A hotel with reservations. Award-winning playwright Daniel Keene's play is an eccentric fable about taking up residence and trying to move on. (6 scenes, 4 male, 3 female).

Two one-act plays by Daniel Keene. "Citizens" is set at the dividing wall of an unspecified war-torn country. Over the course of the play, the fragility and nobility of the human spirit at its most vulnerable is carefully probed and laid bare (1 act, 9 male, 5 female). "Soldiers" has been commissioned for the STC Actors Company as a companion piece to Citizens. Set in an echoing Air Force hangar, family members gather to receive the bodies of their sons, brothers and friends lost in an unspecified conflict abroad (1 act, 9 male, 5 female).
