These plays—written and premiered in cities from Stuttgart to Tokyo—are united by a restless curiosity and a deep empathy for the lives we lead in silence and in chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether collaborating with European directors or writing for stages far from home, Stephens' international work is marked by a fearless embrace of aesthetic diversity and emotional truth. This collection is a testament to his belief that theatre, at its best, is a conversation across borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48244076544236,"sku":"9781350622159","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350622159-simon-stephens-international-plays-1.jpg?v=1787992846","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/simon-stephens-international-plays-by-simon-stephens-9781350622159","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
