“Possibilities” (A Play in Ten Scenes) by English playwright Howard Barker (1946) translated by Alexander Sergievsky. Here is what, among other things, the translator writes in the introduction, explaining what “catastrophe plays” are (the definition given to these plays by British criticism): “...violence, disappointment and emptiness, exhaustion of the usual forms of socio-cultural existence - these are just a few of the themes and motives in Barker's dramas and comedies."
