Koleje losu

Judy Blume

W 1987 roku Miri Ammerman wraca do rodzinnego Elizabeth w stanie New Jersey, by wziąć udział w uroczystościach upamiętniających najgorszy rok w jej życiu. Trzydzieści pięć lat wcześniej, kiedy Miri była piętnastolatką i przeżywała swoją pierwszą miłość, na miasto spadają kolejne samoloty,  wprowadzając w mieście atmosferę przerażenia i szoku. Na tle autentycznych wydarzeń z lat pięćdziesiątych ubiegłego wieku, gdy podróże samolotem były czymś nowym i ekscytującym i każdy marzył, by dokądś polecieć, Judy Blume maluje żywy portret konkretnego miejsca i czasu Unforgettable Nat King Colea, fryzur Elizabeth Taylor, młodzieńczych (choć wcale nie szczeniackich) miłości, burzliwych przyjaźni, atomowej histerii, plotek o groźbie komunizmu. I młodego dziennikarza, który buduje swoją sławę, opisując lotnicze katastrofy. Pośród wszystkich tych wydarzeń jedno pokolenie przypomina innym, że koleje losu są zmienne i że zmagając się z utratą, warto zacząć dostrzegać radość i dobro, które dają siłę, by żyć dalej.

La folie au théâtre, ou l\'esthétique de l\'épouvante selon André de Lorde

Tomasz Kaczmarek

« Pour que le sentiment de peur soit violent chez le spectateur, il ne faut pas écrire des pièces où l’intérêt puisse s’éparpiller sur plusieurs incidents, au lieu de se fixer sur un seul. Si l’on veut que le public se retire encore tout frémissant, il faut écrire des pièces courtes, ramassées, où le malaise de la peur s’empare du spectateur dès le lever du rideau pour aller toujours en croissant jusqu’à l’ébranlement de tout le système nerveux. Pas de longueurs, presque pas d’exposition ; la pièce a un acte, deux au plus, et très brefs ; on entre immédiatement dans le sujet, l’action ». André de Lorde
