Sommaire
This book collects some of Judith Thompson’s earlier, hard-to-find plays, including White Biting Dog, a poetic black comedy about a divorced lawyer who prepares to kill himself by jumping off the Bloor Street Viaduct, until he encounters a small dog who sets him on a different path.
I AM YOURS. A harrowing story about a group of characters on the brink of despair as each tries to escape what haunts them the most; and
PINK. Moving monologue set in 1970s South Africa that centres on a young girl’s surprising reaction after her nanny is murdered during a protest.
WHITE BITING DOG : A suicidal young man is rescued by a white dog who gives him a mission: save his father from death. His mission flounders until the dog's owner helps him by bringing his reluctant mother back into the family.
