Better Angels: A Parable and Eating Pomegranates Naked: Two Plays by Andrea Scott by Andrea Scott

lsparrow's review against another edition

4.0

I really enjoyed these two plays. The first one - looks at issues of colonoialism/slavery and the ways it persists quite litterally now. I like the characters in both of these plays.

Two really solid plays that while I enjoyed, found to have a lot of balls in the air. Scott is a exceptional writer, whose humour shines through, and moments of beauty stand out amongst the chaos. She tackles thoughtful themes with wonderful imagery, that I enjoyed but didn't have my mind blown by. Obviously plays are meant to be seen and performed, and because I felt there were a lot of moving parts, I do hope I get a chance to see them performed.
