| Brother in the land |
This blog, as the name suggests, is about the play "Brother in the Land" by Robert Swindells. I understand that rummaging through text books on the day before the exam can be tiresome. Well, this blog is a simple link to all the notes that you will ever need in a highly organized manner! Another advantage is that you can write comments adding your information too. If you want to ask anything regarding the play, I will be there to answer you!
I am sure that all of you are aware of the grief felt by everyone after the loss of a loved one. This play relates to those emotions and trauma as a 15 year old boy, Danny, watches his entire family bid farewell to the world after a nuclear holocaust in this town. As the play proceeds, we see how people's attitudes change as they fight for survival in order to reach a future that offers no hope at all. The central character narrates in such a bleak and pessimistic style it has you gripped and really trying to empathize with his predicament. A real horror story in the truest sense of it being a possibility. Gruesome, bleak, well-written and terrifying.
I read this play script since it was part of my course this year and found it really grasping. I hope that you read it and freely take reference from this blog!
