Tres obras imprescindibles para entender a uno de los dramaturgos españoles más relevantes de hoy.Alberto Conejero (Jaén, 1978) es una de las figuras más relevantes de la dramaturgia española contemporanea, tanto por la excelencia formal como por la profundidad etica y estetica de su escritura teatral. Las tres obras que recoge este volumen pretenden dar muestra de su produccion hasta la fecha, marcada por unos textos de alta tension poetica y una concepcion del teatro como el arte del vinculo amenazado. Asi, La piedra oscura trabaja sobre la materia historica a partir de la figura de Rafael Rodriguez Rapun, que fue secretario de La Barraca y el gran amor de Federico Garcia Lorca; Ushuaia indaga entre los pliegues mas terribles del pasado europeo y la ocultacion de sus crimenes en America del Sur, y En mitad de tanto fuego presta voz al deseo de Patroclo por Aquiles, tantas veces silenciado por el clamor belico. Tres miradas muy diferentes al pasado para hablar de las luces y sombras de nuestro presente.

Dealers ChoiceI feel its my duty to proclaim it from the rooftops: this is it, this is the play that will remind you, at the end of a year that has contained too few stand-out new-writing hits and far too many musicals, why we go to the theatre - and just how good it can get.TelegraphCloserPatrick Marbers searing follow-up to Dealers Choice establishes him as the leading playwright of his generation.Independent on SundayOne of the best plays of sexual politics in the language: it is right up there with Williamss Streetcar, Mamets Oleanna, Albees Virginia Woolf, Pinters Old Times and Hares Skylight.Sunday TimesHoward KatzAfter Dealers Choice (1995), his gripping study of self-destructive gamblers, and Closer (1997), a thrilling account of love, sex and betrayal, this third instalment of his trilogy set in contemporary London tackles the biggest themes of all - life, death, God and the human soul. Its great to see a contemporary dramatist wrestling with such material.TelegraphDon Juan in SohoOne of the foremost dramatic chroniclers of modern British life. Line by line, this is the best written of all Marbers plays. You want to hang around its phrases (how often does that happen in the theatre?): hardly a minute passes without a satirical swipe, a gutsy joke.ObserverThe Red LionMarber, in this riveting new piece, uses the world of non-league, semi-pro football to explore issues of trust and loyalty and the larger division between individual ambition and the collective ethic. If big issues emerge naturally from the action, it is because Marber is writing about a world he knows intimately. Everything feels right. Guardian
