Electricity is the central metaphor and expressive image in this unusual love story which takes place in an electrical repair shop.
"It's fun to listen to
BATTERY. Daniel Therriault's dialogue is a ripe blend of
primitive slang and advanced metaphor, dotted with enough comedy
to ward off weariness and pretense. The entertainment value never
flags."
Don Shirley, Los Angeles
Times
"Daniel Therriault's first
play, BATTERY, is one of those rare efforts by a young writer
which reminds you of why you keep going to new plays. Sometimes
you actually run across a writer of talent with a play which
makes you care about the characters from the opening lines right
through to the final blackout. BATTERY is one of those plays. The
controlling electrical metaphor proves an expressive image for
the sparks Therriault's flashing, punning pen ignites. BATTERY
pleases exceptionally."
