Point first. Press it between those rosebud lips. Prise it between your pearly whites. Gently. I wouldn't break a single tooth. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhilip Ridley's first new play since 2008 marks a change of direction for the acclaimed, ever restless and maverick writer. \u003ci\u003eTender Napalm\u003c\/i\u003e is a high-impact, high-concept two handed play which explores the landscape that is a relationship between a man and a woman. Explosive, poetic, brutal and ultimately redemptive, the play weaves a compelling theatrical tapestry to re-examine and re-define the language of love. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis abstract play is cool, slick and savagely romantic. There are no defined settings, narratives or characters. Instead, \u003ci\u003eTender Napalm\u003c\/i\u003e is 70 minutes of real time drama: simply a man and woman dissecting their relationship through a mixture of memory, fantasy, and a mixture of the two. And, by doing this, they touch upon zeitgeist concerns of violence, war and faith. \u003ci\u003eTender Napalm\u003c\/i\u003e is a showcase of the imaginative, fantastical and magical poeticisms Ridley can achieve from the bleak and brutal themes of war and destruction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume also contains five poems from the performance sequence \u003ci\u003eLovesongs for Extinct Creatures: Your Love, Dark Sky Craving, The Silver Hat,\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eI'm Waiting to be Killed\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Seams\u003c\/i\u003e,  publishing for the first time extracts from Philip Ridley's cycle of love poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781408152874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Methuen Drama","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40594407293134,"sku":"9781408152874","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_b207dbec-969e-43e5-9463-b4bb4bd39eb7.jpg?v=1637807447","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781408152874","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
