Reseña del libro "#Aiww: The Arrest of ai Weiwei (en Inglés)"

"Excellent... like a mix of Kafka and Beckett." - The GuardianA timely play based on the true story of an imprisoned Nobel Laureate.On 3 April 2011, as he was boarding a flight to Taipei, the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei was arrested at Beijing Airport. Advised merely that his travel “could damage state security”, he was escorted to a van by officials, after which he disappeared for eighty-one days. On his release, the government claimed that his imprisonment related to tax evasion.Howard Brenton's play is based on Ai Weiwei's account in Barnaby Martin's book Hanging Man, in which he told the story of that imprisonment - by turns surreal, hilarious, and terrifying. A portrait of the artist in extreme conditions, it is also an affirmation of the centrality of art and freedom of speech in civilized society."A very good play - moving, scary, gripping, inventive and at times laugh-out-loud funny." - Telegraph"Tremendously powerful." - Financial Times"A piece of theatre that is both a public service and an absorbing, imaginative response." - Whatsonstage.com"Intense and claustrophic... this play shows that art - and artists - still matter." - Evening StandardHoward Brenton is a prolific playwright whose plays have been staged at the Royal Court Theatre, National Theatre, RSC and Shakespeare's Globe among others. Other writing work includes collaborations with David Hare and thirteen episodes of the BBC1 drama series Spooks.
