About this ebook
Interruptions is inspired by Stephen Jeffreys’ interest in the collective aspect of politics and his fascination with the Japanese aesthetic principle of Jo-ha-kyu. The play was first performed at UC Davis, California, in 2001.
‘I had the great pleasure of working with Stephen Jeffreys on his play, The Libertine. Would that all playwrights had his openness, his talent, his hard-headedness, his experience, his enthusiasm, his complexity, and perhaps best of all his talent and interest in eliciting the best in others’ - John Malkovich
‘Stephen’s plays always bear the kitemark of unique, handcrafted quality’ - Ian Rickson
