Spreading the News Reviews

  • Nada Khaled

    إن الإشاعات قادرة على الانتشار في أرجاء البلدة أسرع من انتشار السُم في الجسد..
    مُسببة سوء فهم بين الأطراف..
    دون علم منهم بما الذي يجري..

    لم أجد فيها شيء جديد على الإطلاق ..

    I love reading very old plays that are still completely relevant. I didn't know what to expect but this was funny, and clever. This is completely realistic coming from a small town, things change so quickly, just for the sake of the story. Loved it.

  • Kristen

    Such a gem! I picked up this play on a whim and was glad I did. Lady Gregory is beautifully witty, and her sense of comedic timing is absolutely spot on.

  • Rosaux

    هذه المسرحية لا تحتوي على حوار ممتاز لكن ليدي غريغوري قامت بعمل جيد جدًا في إنشاء لعبة كوميدية مبنية على سوء فهم.

    خلق كوميدي رائع تفصيلا لعبارة جوستاف لوبون "ان للاشاعات قدرة علي الانتشار اكبر بكثير من الحقيقي��"

    In a small Irish town, on the day the gung-ho new Magistrate arrives, Bartley Fallon sees that Jack Smith has left his ax at Mrs. Tarpey's booth. He runs after Jack to return it. Between the village gossiping and Mrs. Tarpey's deafness, everyone believes that Bartley Fallon has killed Jack Smith with an ax and plans to run away to America with his wife. The new magistrate questions Jack in a scene where everyone grows progressively more confused until the truth comes out, that Jack is alive, Mr. Fallon is not having an affair, and didn't kill anyone.
    This play doesn't have excellent dialogue like Wilde or Shaw, but Lady Gregory did a very good job of creating a comedic play based on a misunderstanding.
