<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"A fascinating document of popular sentiment." - <i>Telegraph</i></b> Britannia calls a meeting, to listen to her people. Caledonia, Cymru, East Midlands, North East, Northern Ireland and the South West bring the voices of their regions. The debate is passionate and opinions divided. Can there ever be a United Kingdom? In the days following the Brexit vote, a team from the National Theatre of Great Britain spoke to people nationwide, aged 9 to 97, to hear their views on the country we call home. In a series of deeply personal interviews, they heard opinions that were honest, emotional, funny, and sometimes extreme. These real testimonials are interwoven with speeches from party leaders of the time in this play by Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy and director Rufus Norris. <i>My Country</i> opened at the National Theatre, London, in March 2017 before playing at venues around the UK.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Carol Ann Duffy brings a major's poet's ear to the music of the text... The uncategorisable brilliance of this show... therapeutically unkinks your brain and lets you hear at the end a more reverberant and ionised silence. It's a political intervention; not a retreat into aesthetics. Roll on the next instalment." - <i>Independent</i> (UK)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Carol Ann Duffy</b> was born in Glasgow and grew up in Stafford.
