Marina Carr: Plays 3

<p>This third richly varied collection of plays by Marina Carr was published to coincide with the Royal Shakespeare Company's premiere of <i>Hecuba</i> at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in September 2015.<br><br><i>Sixteen Possible Glimpses</i> imagines sixteen fleeting moments in Anton Chekhov's short life and work. <i>Phaedra Backwards</i> retells the Phaedra myth to discover what shaped her. <i>The Map of Argentina</i> offers a meditation on love and what happens when it is denied, or pursued and hunted down. <i>Hecuba</i> was written in reaction to the bad press this Trojan queen receives, and reimagines how she may have suffered and reacted. <i>Indigo</i> is a dark and passionate romance amongst fairies, demons, ghouls and every sort of fantastic creature out of folklore and myth.</p>
