About the author

Editorial Reviews

By adopting the family as his particular area of investigation ... Micone shows finally that the immigrant question is simply a variant of the theme of powerlessness. A subject, suggests Micone, on which women speak with authority.

Sherry Simon

Marco Micone's political analysis and his powerful, often angry presentational style make for very exciting, compelling theatre.
