The Fever by Wallace Shawn follows a traveller who falls ill in a poor country, and plummets into a fever of self-examination.
But something's been hidden from me, too. Something - a part of myself - has been hidden from me, and I think it's the part that's there on the surface, what anyone in the world could see about me if they saw out the window of a passing train. The incredible history of my feelings and my thoughts could fill up a dozen leather-bound books. But the story of my life - my behaviour, my actions - now that's a slim little paperback, and I've never read it. The Fever was first performed by the author in an apartment near Seventh Avenue in New York City in January 1990. It was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1991, and at the Ambassadors Theatre in 1997. The Fever was revived at the Royal Court Theatre in April 2009.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Faber & FaberISBN-13:9780571251223ISBN-10:571251226UPC:9780571251223Book Category:Non-Classifiable, Drama, Performing ArtsBook Subcategory:Non-Classifiable, American, TheaterBook Topic:PlaywritingSize:7.70 x 4.90 x 0.20 inchesWeight:0.15Product ID:SCREJE5WW6
