The Beach
by Peter Asmussen, translated by David DuchinReviews & Quotes
“The Beach is a sad and delicate little play by Peter Asmussen, the Danish author of the screenplay of Lars von Trier’s film Breaking the Waves, here translated with cool precision by David Duchin. Everything happens slowly, as if underwater.”
“sexual tensions crackle through the seaside air”
“Elly Green’s direction is alive to every shift and nuance in the text”
“a production suffused with the bitter tang of sea salt and unshed tears.”
The Times
“there is fine acting here…and director Elly Green paces the piece expertly”Time Out
“The direction is effective and forceful, capitalising well on the idea of the holiday as a snapshot of a life, as each scene ends with a camera flash.”
