Glass Eels (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Late August down on the Somerset levels: deep in the water and the silt, something is moving, unfurling... Suffused with the austere poetry of the West Country, Glass Eels tells the story of a girl's sexual awakening as she struggles to free herself from the shadows of her childhood and the stifling atmosphere of an all-male household. Glass Eels was produced by Hampstead Theatre and the Brewhouse Theatre (Somerset) and premiered in June 2007.
