Description for The Designated Mourner
Paperback. A play comprised of a series of monologues by two men and one woman. Each story enfolds the others, and illuminates yet also obscures them. Howard is Judy's father, and Jack her husband. Jack is clearly lower on the social scale than the other two, but in the end he is the survivor. Num Pages: 128 pages. BIC Classification: DD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 196 x 126 x 5. Weight in Grams: 80.
A daughter is tied to her brilliant father by a passionate bond. But then she is drawn towards an appealing man whose taste in cultural forms follows a disturbing path. The Designated Mourner is a harsh and poetic play about the pursuit of beauty in brutal times.
The Designated Mourner premiered at the National Theatre, London, in April 1996.
