Résumé
Morna Pearson either sketches or portrays appalling grotesque female characters who, similar to praying mantises, are eager to prey upon fragile and immature Peter Pan-like male counterparts. They are set in destructured duets entangled in inhumane situations and decaying contexts. The playwright’s lurid, post-modern and innovative style and idiosyncrasies emerge from transtextual rhizomatic networks including Shaw, Orton, Pinter, Beckett, Kane, and of course, Celtic myths, all inspirational hypotexts. The Doric mode of expression she chose - both geolect and sociolect - and the Cailleach archetypal figure underlying her female characters amplify the Scottishness of this creative woman dramatist’s works.
