Snow in August
Snow in August is based on the life of Huineng (AD 633-713), the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism in Tang Dynasty China. Packed with the myriad sights and sounds of both the Eastern and Western theatrical traditions, the play exudes wonder and mysticism. The many koan cases and the story of Huineng's enlightenment afford the audience fascinating vignettes of Gao's vision of life and existence─an awareness of the Void and the need for a personal peace with onself. GAO Xingjian is the winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Literature, the first Chinese to receive the award. Best-known for his novels
Don't Mention Her
Claire, five-year-old daughter of Irish doctors, Connie and Liam, dies suddenly in 1963. The novel follows the devastation in the family - consequences that reverberate over the next fifty years. There's the shock as Connie deserts Liam and their children and the mystery of the pact she makes with Anne, a Catholic nun. All who witnessed the child's death, even the youngest, feel responsible and have their own stories as they leave home, reject religion, start careers. Connie's ambivalence about mothering seems to follow the next generation of women. One cousin, most deeply affected, tries to escape the past as she takes up work in Nigeria. Do her choices repeat Connie's actions? And to whom does it fall to fulfil the pact Connie made fifty years before? A heartbreaking story of motherhood and the limitations of love.
