• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"One day you will say something from the heart, a truth forced raw and screeching from the howling depths of your soul."

Powerful poetic language, dark humour and provocative ideas build a fast moving story around a fiercely intelligent young girl and her relentless refusal of the establishment. When suddenly a people's revolution breaks out and a mercenary soldier intrudes the family home, the conflict between the regime and the unconquered girl is revealed.
The Unconquered toured the UK in 2007 with Stella Quines Theatre Company.
