Delve into darkness with Metastasis and Other Plays, a new collection of Gordon Pengilly’s award-winning dramas that highlight the core of human tragedy, paranoia, and violence. With a mix of dark humour and palpable desperation, Pengilly creates striking characters who, while essentially good, are unable to cope with their circumstances and commit reckless acts as a result. True to the tendency of human nature, these characters attempt to redeem themselves—but often discover it’s too late.
