Cuba & Dog House by Gina Moxley
Two more plays for young people in Faber's Connections series. Cuba by Liz Lochhead is set at the time of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. As events unfold and people begin to fear the worst, Barbara and Bernadette decide to mount their own school protest. Daring each other on, they take on the Establishment - but not without cost to their friendship. In Gina Moxley's Dog House the cycle of young friendships and romance in Lime Lawn, Cork City is unaffected by the arrival of new neighbours - until the fear and brutality they live under begin to become apparent.
Lochhead, Liz: - Liz Lochhead is the Scottish Makar (Poet Laureate) and is regarded as one of Scotland's best andmost popular poets and dramatists. Her poetry is characterised by a self-conscious effort to mimic the idioms of speech, adopting a range of spoken styles that include the lyrical use of cliche, rap, colloquialism and even advertising language in an effort to raise the profile of the marginalised voices of both Scots and women. Her most famous poetry collections include Dreaming Frankenstein and Collected Poems (1984), True Confessions and New Cliches (1985) andBagpipe Muzak (1991). She became Makar in 2011 after the death of Edwin Morgan.
