The plays dance between intimate details and the big, historical picture, telling the story of a love affair from three different angles. Each piece is formally inventive \u0026amp; draws on a rich history of gay and queer theatre practice, whilst innovatively pushing the form forward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection includes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo Little of You Left - This begins as a traditional poetry reading and rapidly disintegrates into physical theatre, combining poetry, children’s games, physical risk \u0026amp; bold imagery to tell the story of a love affair from start to finish. So Little details the marks that love leaves on our bodies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis Spread Legs - One year later. Tom, alone in his flat in the early hours, begins to speak. A haunting and heartbreaking monologue, inspired by the biblical Song of Songs, excavating the relationship between love, language and identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Actor Has Told of His Pain - In this final installment, the two lovers from So Little meet again and a third character – another ex – helps to give shape to the stories they have been telling each other. A three-act play with a queer twist, about the act of leaving and being left, and coming to terms with the end of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781849431705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Oberon Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40822962159822,"sku":"9781849431705","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_0dbcd7c6-f4bb-4bf1-807d-d4a106c3a3d0.jpg?v=1643096157","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781849431705","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
