This is character-driven   theatre at its purest ... It’s a play about what unremitting poverty   does to the soul, where poverty is not starvation, but life without   dignity. * Spectator on \"Beyond Caring\" *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Caring\u003c\/i\u003e seethes. It brings your blood to boiling point. * Time Out *\u003cbr\u003eTotally compelling ... This understated 90 minutes is quietly   devastating ... As time moves, slowly, the whole thing gradually   becomes more and more heightened, emotionally and theatrically. The   beauty of the piece ... is that it eschews sob stories in favour of   genuine tragedy. Just as these people keep themselves pretty much to   themselves until the final, desperate moments, so the play always slyly   shows and never tells. There are no big speeches. There is much  awkward  silence. People reveal themselves in small gestures ... There  are  gusts of sadness; moments of pure desolation. But mostly there is  work,  with people struggling to survive: to the end of the shift, the  end of  the day, to the end of life itself. * Guardian on \"Beyond Caring\" *\u003cbr\u003eThis desolate, quietly intense devised drama gets under your skin and   into your bones ... it's a ringing condemnation of an economic   practice that puts profit before people and turns the basic business of   earning a living into a barely sustainable, soul-destroying hell.   Unforgettable. * The Times on \"Beyond Caring\" *\u003cbr\u003eAlexander Zeldin's devised drama gives an unforgettable taste of life at   the bottom of the employment pile ... it has a rare quality of   gripping authenticity. * Daily Telegraph on \"Beyond Caring\" *\u003cbr\u003eZeldin boldly sticks to unostentatious naturalism and draws the audience   into this world ... this raw, unsentimental piece has immense   cumulative power and quietly conveys just what it means to live with   such a crippling lack of security. * Financial Times on \"Beyond Caring\" *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Caring\u003c\/i\u003e is beyond praise * International New York Times *","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52084825162071,"sku":"9781350041431","price":16.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781350041431.jpg?v=1762207283","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/love-modern-plays-9781350041431","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
