Includes the plays And We'll Never be Parted The Son Visits and Meanwhile the lights go down
and everything becomes black In And We'll Never be Parted Jon Fosse exploits theatre's unique
potential for ambiguity: as a woman anxiously waits for her husband are we watching reality
fantasy memory or even a ghost story? The Son concerns an ageing and isolated couple whose
long-absent son has a score to settle with their meddlesome neighbour.In the oblique but
psychologically penetrating Visits a withdrawn teenager apparently upset by the attentions of
her mother's boyfriend turns to her brother for help. The short play Meanwhile the lights go
down and everything becomes black exploring the dilemmas of an errant husband his young lover
and his family displays Fosse's characteristic compression of theatrical time and space at its
most concentrated.
