Steven
Berkoff
Steven Berkoff's first original play, East (1975), won critical acclaim
for its originality and eclectic concoction of Elizabethan verse, punk poetry,
and Cockney slang. His other work for the stage have included Greek,
a parody of the Oedipus myth; West, a sequel to East and the story
of Beowulf written in the Cockney idiom; Decadence; Harry's Christmas;
Kvetch; Acapulco; Sink the Belgrano; and Massage. Berkoff has
also adapted Aeschylus' Agamemnon and Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall
of the House of Usher. |
