Title: To whom it may concern
Description: Described by the author as A Little Bumper Book of Plays, To Whom It May Concern is a collection of eight plays by multi-award winning dramatist Daniel Keene. All works are from the acclaimed Keene/Taylor Theatre Project. Their stories forge what Geoffrey Milne has called 'a poetics of dignity in despair.' Occasionally theatre delivers something quite extraordinary. Sitting in the poverty-marked surrounds of The Brotherhood of St Lawrence furniture warehouse, watching three more of Daniel Keene's plays in his collaborative project with director Ariette Taylor, more than tears were brought to my eyes. It was as if a hand had reached into my chest and squeezed my heart until it hurt. These plays are so everyday on the surface yet they articulate in their gaps and silences a profound sense of human worth. (From back cover).
