Stephens Plays: 4

Four plays inspired by and originating on the European stage from one of Britain''s most important playwrights.

Three Kingdoms was presented at Teater NO99 in Tallinn, Estonia on 17 September 2011, before opening at the Munich Kammerspiele, Germany, on 15 October 2011. âAn inconsolable mood of dread, abandon, violence and suspicion lurks beneath the show''s skin of arty insouciance, and at times the script attains a lyrical pitch of accusation against the West that quite overrides the flippancy. There''s something of value here.â Daily Telegraph;

The Trial of Ubu premiered at the Schauspielhaus Essen in a co-production with the Toneelgroep Amsterdam. âThe play certainly gets at the banality of evil, and evokes the slow, sometimes dull, often uncertain slog of justice.â Sunday Times.

Subtitled âA Play For Young Peopleâ, Morning was developed in partnership between the Lyric Hammersmith, London, and the Junges Theater, G¶ttingen. The Financial Times described it as âtheatrically daring and uncompromisingâ;

Carmen Disruption, a reimagining of Bizetâs opera, premiered at the Deutsche Spielhaus in spring, 2014, before its UK premiere at the Almeida, London, in April 2015. âYou can''t help but be moved by the circumstances facing the five main characters. There''s an understanding and a compassion amid the bleakness. And a fierce sense that something needs to change.â Guardian;
