About the Book

Benedict Andrews is an internationally renowned theatre and opera director, a film-maker and a poet. This volume presents the first collection of original plays by a theatre-maker at the top of his game. Includes the plays Like A Sun, Every Breath, The Stars, Geronimo and Gloria. Introduction by Marius von Mayenburg.

About the Author :
Benedict Andrews’ previously published work includes versions of Chekhov’s The Seagull (Belvoir St, Sydney) and Three Sisters (Young Vic). With Andrew Upton, he co-translated Genet’s The Maids for production at Sydney Theatre Company and on Broadway for the Lincoln Center Festival. He collaborated with Tom Wright on adapting Shakespeare’s Histories for the marathon cycle The War of the Roses for the 2009 Sydney and Perth Festivals. He also adapted, with Beatrix Christian, Calderon de la Barca’s Life is a Dream. Benedict’s first collection of poetry Lens Flare was published by Pitt Street Press in 2014. Every Breath was translated by Jorge Silva Melo for a production in Lisbon in 2013 and was nominated for Time Out Lisbon’s Best Play award.

Review :
'Everyone wants to work with him … He shakes up a company with his energy. His rehearsal rooms are muscular – brutal, even – but he loves being surprised … he has an incredible visual sense and he can wrestle any text to the ground.' Benedict Andrews is one of the original imaginations of Australian theatre. For ten years now he has been applying his complex startling vision to some of our dramatic literature, as well as illumination new writing, both nationally and internationally. His work is marked by the intense and fragile beauty of its imagery and the sense of deep metaphor lying beneath the narrative surface. In an artform that needs to be both popular and pragmatic, Benedict manages to remain that rare thing: a poet.’ ‘A bracingly original vision: [Andrews] turns the play inside out, bashes it around, and drops in anachronisms, yet his approach yields revelatory results... moving and absorbing’
