The prize-winning Turkish play by Basar Sabuncu translated by Nermin Streater
"...a small window bought from a junk dealer, two doors that do not match, and walls not properly plastered yet. In one corner a small sink, a wire-mesh cupboard, and a few plate-shelves serve as a kitchen; in another corner a curtain of cheap flowered-cotton conceals Grandfather's bedroom. Bits of embroidery (remnants of Sabiha's dowry) have been tossed on the table, the radio, and the metal trunk as if to prepare the Shanty for a special occasion..."
This play won an Honourable Mention in the recent EAU 'Eurotheatre' Competition, and was also awarded a prize by the Society of Art Lovers in Turkey as one of the two best plays of the year. The author, Basar Sabuncu, works with Ankara Radio.
