Goya's Ghost: Five Plays (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781548317744)

In writing described as powerful and courageous, these five plays 'represent the birth of a new voice, one unseduced by the fashionable complacencies of the age, one unafraid of what the light of truth might show, one humble before the mystery. Goya's Ghost shows us the dark aspect of the family, the woundedness that is inherited from it, and the aspect of occlusion of spiritual vitality that Celtic Christendom suffered from its subsuming in the culture of the neighbouring island. The Basques presents a more terrible crushing of an indigenous culture, more terrible because it was carried out by a state in the modern sense of the word. It provokes thought about the state, laying bare its tendency to substitute control for trust, conformity for respect' - Luke Bell, author of The Meaning of Blue: Recovering a Contemplative Spirit (Angelico Press 2014).
