Owen, Louise (2022) Introductory essay to "Beyond Caring". In: Zeldin, Alexander (ed.) The Inequalities: Beyond Caring; LOVE; Faith, Hope and Charity. Methuen Drama. London, UK: Bloomsbury Methuen, pp. 1-16. ISBN 9781350271777.
Abstract
Book synopsis: The Inequalities combines three plays from British author and director Alexander Zeldin into a trilogy that tells new stories of love, compassion and resilience for our time of austerity. Contextualised with an essay before each play and an in-depth interview with the author, Zeldin's three pieces present intimate stories of work, home and community in a radical form of realism. Written after extensive research across the United Kingdom, and involving people affected by the central themes of the plays, The Inequalities goes beyond social chronicle, achieving a timeless portrait of humanity under duress. This is theatre that goes behind the mirror of our time to reveal the core of the collective human experience of being alive.
