Book Synopsis

Owen McCafferty''s second collection includes plays that span from the sinking of the Titanic to the lingering aftermath of the Troubles in twenty-first-century Belfast.

Absence of Women
A fine example of theatre at its small-scale best.' Evening Standard

Titanic
Owen McCafferty''s rigorous verbatim play provides an antidote to Titanic fatigue... Two months of hearings from 97 witnesses are whittled down to nine... What remains, even after a century, is a disturbing sense of moral ambiguity: 1, 517 dead and no one to blame.' Guardian

Quietly
Vibrates with a violent tension so taut that if you were a bystander... you'd hardly dare to breathe.'' New York Times

Remarkable inspired The piece packs sweeping questions about forgiveness and accountability into a tightly plotted encounter.' Daily Telegraph

The most powerful theatrical production I have had the privilege of seeing... McCaffert
