The work in this collection - five full-length plays and two shorts - showcases his extraordinary ability to combine electrifying dialogue with heartfelt warmth, candour and humour.\u003cbr\u003eHope (Royal Court Theatre, 2014) is a funny and scathing fable about the leaders of a local council faced with savage funding cuts. 'A surprisingly entertaining state-of-the-nation drama' The Stage\u003cbr\u003eThe Solid Life of Sugar Water (Graeae\/Theatre Royal Plymouth, 2015) is an intimate, tender play about loss, hurt and rediscovery. 'Startlingly good... an adult play in the very best sense' The Times\u003cbr\u003eJunkyard (Headlong, 2017) is a joyful celebration of imaginative play, a musical drama about a group of young people tasked with building a playground out of junk. 'Genuinely funny and poignant' WhatsOnStage\u003cbr\u003ethe end of history... (Royal Court, 2019) is a moving and sophisticated portrait of the impact of political idealism on a family. 'Clever and highly intriguing' Independent\u003cbr\u003eAlso included are Burying Your Brother in the Pavement, written for the National Theatre Connections Festival in 2008, which tackles complex themes of grief, violence and sexuality with fierce compassion and wild imagination; and two short plays: Whiff Whaff and Boo.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Thorne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839041528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839041525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Hern Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 1.30d","brand":"Jack Thorne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46721409089791,"sku":"9781839041525","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da5f8850-4b20-490a-b188-38411309b02a.jpg?v=1742752783","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jack-thorne-plays-jack-thorne-9781839041525","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
