Beschreibung

An astonishing debut play exposing the tragic underbelly of "post-everything" America

Bob and Sam are two regular guys chewing the fat, putting the world to rights over a bottle of Jack Daniels and a game of poker, apparently trapped in an empty bar-room in this latter-day America Waiting for Godot.

Conversation is rapid-fire and ranges from God and fishing to gambling and art, building to a deeply-felt exploration of the values of mainstream America. What emerges through their extraordinary dialogue is a portrait of a culture caught in a painful flux; a dichotomy between a nostalgic, reactionary sentiment and a desire to forge ahead with something new.

Horse Country was a fringe hit at the Edinburgh Festival in 2002, winning the Best of the Fringe Firsts prize, before moving to the Riverside, London

"A really substantial piece of theatre; sharp, brilliant, intense" Scotsman

An astonishing debut play exposing the tragic underbelly of "post-everything" America

Über den Autor

C. J. Hopkins began writing for the stage in 1987, creating a cut-up stage text entitled Attic Clap Theory K, adapted from T.S. Eliot's The Cocktail Party. In 1994, he was awarded a Developing Artist Fellowship by the Drama League of New York and, in 1995, a development residency at Mabou Mines/Suite. Hopkins's work includes Texas Radio, The Installation, How to Entertain the Rich, A Place Like This, and Horse Country, which won the Scotsman 'First of the Fringe Firsts' awards at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2002.
