Far More Than Kin, Far Less Than Kind Daniel G Fruman

A Czar is driven mad within the gloomy halls of his kremlin. The Norse Gods try to stop their impending doom. A King divides his lands among his three sons. Tragedy strikes. This anthology brings together three short plays: "As Terrible as God" "The Binding of Loki" "The Conqueror's Son" These plays are written with a unique, beautiful style that's very rarely seen in modern fiction. The language flows with sharp yet gentle beauty. Each play presents a cast of unforgettable characters, scenes, monologues and moments. It is a page-turning read that lets the audience enter three different worlds, worlds filled with secrets, wisdom, conspiracy and hate. Worlds where the price of power is blood and the price of love is death. Where brothers are ripped from brothers and fathers wage war against their sons. Worlds too much like our own. And while they are all distinct, together they fulfill a thematic idea and paint a picture of life in all its many colours. Easily stageable, this anthology is a gold mine for theatre companies and actors looking for fresh, unique, new material. I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that you enjoy my premier work. It is a labour of love, written over three years of change, love and pain. I hope that they stir in you, what writing them has stirred in me. -Daniel Fruman
