The Recruitment Officer by Shirin Laghai
Tom, a charming Yankee recruiter comes to an unspecified English town and falls in love with the conference centre manager, Julia. But what exactly is he recruiting for? Why does everyone who joins never return, and what's on the other side of the door he ushers them through? When Julia starts to get interested in joining Tom tries to do everything to dissuade her, but who is he protecting and what exactly are the benefits of becoming a recruit? An existential love story that asks questions of who we are, what we want from life and whether we're getting it, The Recruitment Officer is a remodelling of the 1706 play by George Farquhar, The Recruiting Officer.
Thomas Alexander has had over a dozen plays produced on three continents, in countries ranging from Japan to the United States to Afghanistan, with his work translated into four different languages. Following several highly successful writing and directorial seasons in Tokyo, he was handpicked by the Afghan government and commissioned to write The Crossroads Country, which he directed to international acclaim. Experienced in all aspects of theatre from opera to children's performances, he has written over twenty plays and directed more than ten. Thomas Alexander's first novel has recently been published by Direct Light Publications, and he is rapidly emerging as one of the literary scene's bright young talents. His plays Writing William, Begat, Great and The Visitor, along with the first novel in his The Other Side of the Sun trilogy, A Scattering Of Orphans, have been published by Direct Light Publications. www.directlight-publications.com To be notified when new books are released, please sign up for Thomas Alexander's email newsletter at thomasalexander@directlight-publications.com
