Zinnie Harris: Plays 1: Further than the Furthest Thing; Midwinter; How to Hold Your Breath; Meet Me at Dawn

4.00 (1 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Zinnie Harris

In this first collection by Zinnie Harris, Further than the Furthest Thing evokes the fragility of an island community as their way of life is threatened and they must determine their future, while Midwinter opens as a woman steals a dead horse to feed to a child. How To Hold Your Breath tells the story of a woman who sleeps with the devil and defends her belief in love, even as her world collapses around her, and Meet Me at Dawn offers a compelling, allegorical love story that explores the desolating effects of grief.
With an introduction by director Dominic Hill.
