Written after extensive research across the United Kingdom, and involving people affected by the central themes of the plays, The Inequalities goes beyond social chronicle, achieving a timeless portrait of humanity under duress. This is theatre that goes behind the mirror of our time to reveal the core of the collective human experience of being alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond Caring: \"This desolate, quietly intense devised drama gets under your skin and into your bones... unforgettable.\" (The Times)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLOVE: \"Gripping, amusing, uncomfortable, desperately moving. Zeldin shows us friction...but also kindness and dignity and lots of love without turning sugary.\" (The Times)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eFaith, Hope and Charity: \"This is that rare thing: a necessary play that suggests Zeldin has taken on the role of the Victorian Henry Mayhew in compassionately documenting the lives of the urban poor.\" (The Guardian)","brand":"Zeldin, Mr Alexander","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42323466059961,"sku":"9781350271777","price":32.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/zeldin-mr-alexander-christine-kaddous-the-inequalities-beyond-caring-love-faith-hope-and-charity-2022-paperback-9781350271777-59954598183251.jpg?v=1731049508","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/the-inequalities-tpb-w9","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
