Explosive, poetic, brutal and ultimately redemptive, the play weaves a compelling theatrical tapestry to re-examine and re-define the language of love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis abstract play is cool, slick and savagely romantic. There are no defined settings, narratives or characters. Instead, \u003ci\u003eTender Napalm\u003c\/i\u003e is 70 minutes of real time drama: simply a man and woman dissecting their relationship through a mixture of memory, fantasy, and a mixture of the two. And, by doing this, they touch upon zeitgeist concerns of violence, war and faith. \u003ci\u003eTender Napalm\u003c\/i\u003e is a showcase of the imaginative, fantastical and magical poeticisms Ridley can achieve from the bleak and brutal themes of war and destruction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume also contains five poems from the performance sequence \u003ci\u003eLovesongs for Extinct Creatures: Your Love, Dark Sky Craving, The Silver Hat, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eI'm Waiting to be Killed\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Seams\u003c\/i\u003e, publishing for the first time extracts from Philip Ridley's cycle of love poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Ridley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Plays\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.2lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781408152874","brand":"Methuen Drama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42706436620425,"sku":"9781408152874","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_127b6ce1-37f1-43aa-b437-6b34ec30b794.jpg?v=1719456960","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/tender-napalm-9781408152874","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
