Frank McGuinness

    29. júl 1953

    Frank McGuinness je svetoznámy dramatik a profesor tvorivého písania na University College Dublin. Jeho hry sa často ponárajú do zložitých medziľudských vzťahov a historických tráum, pričom vynikajú silnými dialógmi a psychologickou hĺbkou. McGuinness je majstrom jazyka, ktorý dokáže v postavách odhaliť ich zraniteľnosť aj húževnatosť. Jeho tvorba je cenená pre emocionálnu rezonanciu a hlboký vhľad do ľudskej povahy.

      Now we have a family, a rivalry, a purpose. A writer and his wife sit together in their garden. They are surrounded by a lifetime's work; their home, their gardens and their children. Rachel wants to be congratulated on her pregnancy, Maurice is struggling for his father's acceptance and Charlie needs his sacrifices to be acknowledged. A crisis has drawn this family together but their honesty may pull them apart.
