Beschreibung:
Kaite O'Reilly is a multi award-winning writer and dramaturg whose body of work includes poetry, prose, radio drama, screen and theatre. kaiteoreilly.com
In her version of Europe's oldest dramatic poem, a requiem to a nation's dead in a reckless, fruitless war, Kaite O'Reilly chooses the iambic drumbeat of English blank verse, and a long-lined lyricism that befits an epic lament. The language is modern, the word-music timeless, the rhythms ring with echoes of Elizabethan drama. In this powerful translation, the three voices of the Chorus tell the tragic story in a breathless song of mourning that insists on being heard.
