A woman from Ancient Greece, dying for love in the tomb of her husband, is interrupted by a soldier, who finds her devotion so over-whelming he wants to save her. Philosophically, this covers much of the same territory of Fry's masterpiece, The Lady's Not for Burning. The poetry is as beautiful, but it doesn't have the zinger one-liners of Not for Burning. I read them back-to-back, so I wasn't very moved by Phoenix. However, if you're interested in the rewriting of Greek drama in the 1950s or you like Christopher Fry, this play is worth reading.

"Dynamene is ready to die from grief over the death of her husband and has immured herself, fasting, in his tomb. After a "brilliant parade of poetry, paradox, wit, humour and intellectual discourse" she is diverted from her death-wish by the handsome soldier, Tegeus, and even offers her husband's body to save Tegeus' life." -- Publisher's description Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
