G.B. Shaw wrote Arms and The Man about a small Balkan plot in the 19th century. It''s in this tradition, rather than in a geographical sense that we use the title Balkan Plots. The plays in this volume are dramatic works which have emerged from, or which take as their subject matter, the struggle of individuals within societies affected by recent political upheaval.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Incontestably one of the best, the most powerful plays of the Avignon Festival.” La Gazette Provencale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction by Gina Landor 7  The Body of a Woman  as a battlefield in the Bosnian war  by Matei Visniec  translated by Alison Sinclair 14  Cordon  by Nebojsa Romcevic  translated by Sladjana Vujovic 66  When I want to whistle, I whistle…  by Andreea Vălean  translated by Cheryl Robson and Claudiu Trandafir 106  Soap Opera  by György Spiró  translated by Andrew Bock 132\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aurora Metro Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48866200158551,"sku":"9780953675739","price":9.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780953675739.jpg?v=1722277549","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/balkan-plots-9780953675739","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
