Description

In 2014 local historian Catherine Corless made a discovery of baby bones and skeletons in the grounds of a mother and baby home in Tuam, County Galway, Ireland. Built on the grounds of an old workhouse that operated between 1921 and 1961 the discovery threw up questions about the goings-on across this and similar institutions across Ireland. Tanika Gupta’s powerful drama is loosely based on these recent and historical events, drawing inspiration from Corless’ discovery. Told through the eyes of Grace and her grandchildren, Bones is a play about loss, punishment of unmarried mothers and the legacy of the demonisation of women by Church and State, where the human and reproductive rights of women are undermined. Bones premiered at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in 2019. Bones is published in Methuen Drama’s Plays For Young People Age 16 series which offers suitable plays for young performers at schools, youth groups and youth theatres that have each had premiere productions by young performers in the UK.

Description

‘White people in their big shiny cars drive many kilometres with their sickness which I heal; sickness of the mind, body and of the soul. I charge a bit more for the soul’ At night, a young black boy is ‘questioned’ by a white South African policeman….. 36 years later, when the truth is dug up, a tortured Jennifer watches over her dying husband. But does her maid Beauty have the power to ‘save’ him, and is the price of remembering a dreadful secret one that Jennifer is prepared to pay? Bones is a ruthless excavation of South Africa in 2005, and in an age of threats, retribution and bloody revenge, it is an anthem for hope. A production directed by Adshead opened at the Bush Theatre in October 2006.

Description

Winner of the Noma Award. Bones is the poetic and evocative novel by Chenjerai Hove, offering an intimate view into the Zimbabwe War of Liberation and the minds of those who were left behind. To Marita, an illiterate labourer on a commercial farm, the promise of independence for Rhodesia means very little. Poverty persists and her white boss continues the brutal treatment of his workers. Yet, for her son, it is a matter of life and death. Told through the voices of the people whose lives she touched, we witness Marita’s devastation at her son’s choice to run away and fight for liberation – and her determination to discover what happened to him. Written in a blend of poetic prose and oral tradition, Bones is rich with Shona idioms and dares to ask how a nation can be free when its oppressors refuse to leave. ‘Chenjerai Hove’s figure looms large in Zimbabwe’s literary pantheon.’ Guardian ‘A harrowing tale.’ New York Times
