The Night Alive and Other Plays by Conor Mcpherson

The Night Alive and Other Plays by Conor Mcpherson

Conor McPherson, the Irish dramatist who gave us The Weir and Shining City, has a singular gift for making the ordinary glow with an extra dimension, like a gentle phosphorescence waiting to be coaxed into radiance. -Ben Brantley, New York Times

Conor McPherson is one of the true poets of the theatre.--David Cote, Time Out New York

Includes:

The Night Alive
With inimitable warmth, style, and craft, Conor McPherson's new play deftly mines the humanity to be found in the most unlikely of situations.

The Birds
A suspenseful, atmospheric adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's enthralling short story.

The Veil
The Veil weaves Ireland's troubled colonial history into a transfixing story about the search for love, the transcendental, and the circularity of time.

The Dance of Death
A visceral new version of Strindberg's compelling, bitingly funny battle of wills.
