Echo’s Bones: A Parallel Play by Sarah Browne | Samuel Beckett Inspired Drama | Perfect for Literature Lovers & Theater Enthusiasts | Great for Book Clubs & Academic Study

Product Description

Echo’s Bones is a public art project led by Sarah Browne with autistic young people in North County Dublin. It borrows its title from an unpublished story by Samuel Beckett set in that landscape, populated by unusual characters and wildlife, where an old asylum building meets the coastline. This book presents a new play devised and filmed with the young people in the same setting as the original story, nearly a century later.

Autism is not the topic of the project but a way of sensing the world and speculating about a shared future together. This book features original artwork, a collection of research material from the film production, and newly-commissioned fiction and non-fiction essays by award-winning writers Blindboyboatclub, Hamja Ahsan and Roy Claire Potter. Designed by Peter Maybury.
