Visitors Barney Norris

On a farmhouse at the edge of Salisbury Plain, a family is falling apart. Stephen can't afford to put his mother into care; Arthur can't afford to stop working and look after his wife. When a young stranger with blue hair moves in to care for Edie as her mind unravels, the family are forced to ask: are we living the way we wanted? Visitors is a haunting, beautiful look at the way our lives slip past us. Critics Circle Award 2014 for Most Promising Playwright. Winner of the Best New Play Award at the Off West End Theatre Awards 2014. Shortlisted for the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Most Promising Playwright and the Writers Guild of Great Britain 2014 award for Best Play.

Visitors Bewertungen

Infinitely touching...a mature and tender play. [Norris] is an authentic new voice. * Four stars - Guardian *
Barney Norris's first full-length play is astonishingly accomplished. Norris is a perceptive and humane craftsman...he has created an aching love story. He is a talent to watch. * Five stars - Evening Standard *
...an absolute beauty, by turns funny, tender and desperately sad. There is great richness and an almost poetic resonance in the writing so that we can almost see the play of light across their fields and apprehend the jolting dislocation of dementia. It is much harder to write interestingly about happiness than it is about misery, but Norris often does just that. * Four stars - Telegraph *
It's a hefty subject - the way dementia destroys people's minds and families - but Norris's excellent play deals with it with surprising lightness of touch and humour. * Time Out London *
A tender, elegiac, beautifully written and observed play * Mail on Sunday *
Remember the name Barney Norris. He's outstanding. * The Times *
Barney Norris's astonishingly accomplished debut. * Evening Standard *
An absolute beauty, by turns funny, tender and desperately sad. * The Telegraph *
'Infinitely touching. The real pleasure lies in discovering an authentic new voice.' * Guardian *
