Jim Cartwright/Road,
By rob van der linden (canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cartwright Plays: 1: Road, Bed, Two, and The Rise and Fall of Little Voice (Paperback)
I was fortunate to be part of a production of Road a few years ago and it was a profound experience as much for the remarkable text and what it offers to the artists, as for the direction and extraordinary actors I was privilaged to be able to work with at the time. Jim Cartwright is an important and unashamed writer.rv

TWO BY JIM CARTWRIGHT,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cartwright Plays: 1: Road, Bed, Two, and The Rise and Fall of Little Voice (Paperback)
TWO IS AN EXTREMELY WELL WRITTEN PLAY, AND THE IDEA OF HAVING TWO ACTORS PLAYING ALL OF THE CHARACTERS, IS A VERY GRAND IDEA IF THE ACTORS ARE EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO DO THAT. I PERSONNALLY BELIEVE THAT IF THE CHARACTERS ARE PLAYED BY DIFFERENT ACTORS, YOU CAN HAVE ALOT MORE COSTUME ETC. FOR THEM TO WEAR. THE BUILT UP BETWEEN THE LANDLORD AND LANDLADY'S FINAL SCENE IS EXCELLENT, BAECAUSE BEFORE THEY HAVE THEIR EMOTIONAL OUTBURST, THEY KEEP HAVING LITTLE DIGS AT EACH OTHER, UNTIL FINALLY THEY EXPLODE AND CAN'T TAKE NOT TALKING ABOUT THEIR SHARED LOSS. "TWO" IS AN EXCELLENT PLAY AND SHOULD BE READ BY ALL.

Read this stuff,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cartwright Plays: 1: Road, Bed, Two, and The Rise and Fall of Little Voice (Paperback)
this book shows outstanding talent. Of a style i have not experienced with any other playwright, i have seen two of these shows performed and both of them were thougroly enjoyable. Cartwrights hard hitting style really gets you going if you are easily upset then you may be offended or indeed upset by the content. The dialoque in the playes is a mixture of surrealism and hard hitting realisting arguments. Many isues are dealt with such as mental illness suicide extream politics abuse and others. some of them are dealt with in a very subtle way that if you catch them they really make you think. I would like to hear from you if you are a cartwright fan. I await your email.

The best is "road",
By Laura Pawlowska - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cartwright Plays: 1: Road, Bed, Two, and The Rise and Fall of Little Voice (Paperback)
I was fortunate to star in a production of "Road" It is a truly magnificient piece of work, and must be read by all. Do not be discouraged by the language and strong tone it really adds to the realism of the entire piece
