Speech debate
Uiterlijk 11 december in huis
You might think a play that grapples with serious modern social issueshomophobia, teenage alienation, the limits of online privacywould have no room for a warbling Abraham Lincoln doing an interpretive dance. But then you might not expect to encounter a piece of theater as ingenious and cannily plotted as Stephen Karams Speech & Debate. It is a suspenseful tale that fuses keen-eyed civic critique with riotous and even campy humor. Celia Wren, Washington Post
Hilarious Speech & Debates real accomplishment is its picture of the borderland between late adolescence and adulthood, where grown-up ideas and ambition coexist with childish will and bravado We never feel were being educated, just immensely entertained. Caryn James, New York Times
A provocative play
A lot of shows about teens ring inauthentic. Not this one. Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
Stephen Karams savvy comedy is bristling with vitality, wicked humor, terrific dialogue, and a direct pipeline into the zeitgeist of contemporary youth. David Rooney, Variety
In this unconventional dark comedy, three misfit high school students in Salem, Oregon form a unique debate club, complete with a musical version of The Crucible, an unusual podcast, and a plot to take down their corrupt drama teacher. With his signature wit, Karam traces the cohorts attempts to fend off the menace of encroaching adulthood with caustic humor and subversive antics.
Stephen Karams plays include The Humans (Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize finalist), Sons of the Prophet (Pulitzer Prize finalist), and Speech & Debate. His adaptation of The Cherry Orchard premiered on Broadway for the Roundabout Theatre Company.
