Bøker av Ed Thomas

A new edition of House of America, playwright Ed Thomas's obliquely structured account of a dysfunctional Welsh Valleys family living on the edge of an open-cast mine whose loss of self-worth and sanity is fatally accelerated by the imported dreams they fill their lives and bury their past with.

Reflecting both the raw and lyrical, this volume contains stage scripts of "Song from a Forgotten City" and "Gas Station Angel" and the film shooting script of "House of America" by Ed Thomas, as well as critical essays by Marc Evans and Jeni Williams and a conversation with David Adams.

This work is partly an art installation and partly a tense generational conflict, set in and around a house poised to fall into the sea.

A stunning new play by "the most exciting playwright to come out of Wales" (Guardian)
