Joan by Stephen Belber (English) Paperback Book

Description: Joan by Stephen Belber "With the craft and depth of a fine novelist, Mr Belber creates a mosaic of pointed incidents imparting vital information. Beautifully dramatized is the subtext of enduring the damage by a troubled family background, as evidenced by Joans circuitous life journey with its bouts of self-sabotage, irrational decisions, selfishness and redemptive self-awareness. The form of the memory play is taken to the zenith by JOAN." Theatre Scene "With bold ambition to do just that, to tell the story of one womans life with honesty and integrity, playwright Stephen Belbers JOAN offers a kaleidoscopic look at its fictional, titular character through a lens of sweeping longitude that slowly creates an absorbing and dramatically effective portrait. The humanity painted by Mr Belbers play is moving precisely because of its simplicity and ordinariness. Every person has a story. Joans is worth seeing." Stage Left "In many ways, Joan has led a normal existence: daughter and mother, lover and wife, sister and friend, artist and teacher. She has had affairs and heartaches, hopes and frustrations. Whats less ordinary is how the playwright Stephen Belber tells her story: in nonchronological vignettes that jump around various points in her life. ...JOAN is a fractured portrait that holds together."
