The Nest
by Conor Mcpherson, Franz Xaver Kroetz
What readers are saying
Readers find the play somewhat slow to start, noting it diverges from Conor McPherson's typical style. While it's not a favorite, there are elements that some appreciate.
A bit slow to get going.
Synopsis
Parents-to-be Kurt and Martha just want the best for their baby.
They’re not afraid of hard work – the latest buggy doesn’t come cheap.
But when Kurt’s boss offers him a chance to make some easy money with a mysterious side job, his rashness catches up with him.
A fable about the moral and environmental cost of our materialistic nesting instincts, Conor McPherson’s powerful new version of Franz Xaver Kroetz’s Das Nest premiered at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast, in 2016 and the Young Vic, London, directed by Ian Rickson.
