Lovers is a play in two parts: “Winners” and “Losers.” This free-flowing cascade of dialogue, will scoop your audience up into the world of that most gifted playwright Brian Friel.
Winners, two commentators are seated on either side of the stage with books. They speak without emotion about a 17-year-old girl and a boy half a year older who are on their way to meet upon a hilltop to study before examinations and perhaps talk about marriage.
Losers is about older lovers, and a critic called it an “uproariously funny tragedy.” This couple is trapped by an invalid mother who worships a nonexistent saint.
This script is one of many plays that we have in stock. The authors range from Ancient Greece to modern Ireland.
