Book Description

January 1, 1998 Seren Drama
This lively and topical collection illustrates Cullen's trademark ability to re-fashion theatrical conventions for contemporary, and seemingly bizarre, use. Conflict between generations, classes, anti sexes marks "Mary Morgan", the story of a young maidservant seduced anti made pregnant by the son of her master. Based on a true and well-documented incident in nineteenth-century Wales, this domestic drama is played out against a wide background of harsh poverty and civil unrest.

"Tarzanne" imaginatively reworks the famous Greystoke story by making the central character a girl raised by chimpanzees, but rescued and brought home to the family's mansion in Wales. The struggle to humanize Tarzanne and the attempts of her family and friends to manipulate her future provide for a provocative analysis of human nature in Victorian Britain.

In, "Diego and Frida: A Love Story" a chorus of characters from Mexican myth and folk art comment on the personal and professional relationships of artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Images from their paintings provide keys to their involvement with both Trotsky and Rockefeller, as well as their own tempestuous partnership, in a play which pits ideology and aestheticism against realpolitik and the power of money.
