The Golden Box

Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
The Golden Box came from an idea from the kids' perspective that anything golden is a treasure. The kids in the story would collect different items from the town dump and put them into a box, which they would be influenced by three witches' spell and transferred them back in time and forward into the future struggling to find their one lost friend. There was nothing spectacular about the beat-up cardboard box; it was the contents that made it the golden box. As the saying goes, "One man's garbage is another man's treasure," hence, golden.

The Cripple of Inishmaan

Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
In 1934, the people of Inishmaan learn that the Hollywood director Robert Flaherty is coming to the neighbouring island to film his documentary Man of Aran. No one is more excited than Billy, an unloved and crippled boy whose chief occupation has been gazing at cows and yearning for a girl who wants no part of him. For Billy is determined to cross the sea and audition for the Yank. As news of his audacity ripples through his rumour-starved community, The Cripple of Inishmaan becomes a merciless portrayal of a world so comically cramped and mean-spirited that hope is an affront to its order. With this bleak yet uproariously funny play, Martin McDonagh fulfilled the promise of his award-winning The Beauty Queen of Leenane while confirming his place in a tradition that extends from Synge to O'Casey and Brendan Behan.
