About this product

Product Information

Howard Brenton is one of Britain's best-known and most controversial dramatists Christie in Love is based on the story of John Christie, the 19th century serial killer, like Genet, [Brenton] feels for the outcast...But he's less sentimentally involved with his criminals, clearer about his ultimate strategy to show the unreality of straight lines in a curved universe, of the roles society forces on us. (Observer). Doing our 'umble best, Ma'am to wreck society , Magificence puts the small people and their protests against the bourgeois state on stage; it was described as A wonderful piece of theatre; annexing whole new chunks of modern life and presenting them in a style at once fruitful and magnified. (The Times) In The Churchill Play, Brenton brings Churchill back to life to view the future that he invented for England and Brenton finds a way of making us look again at the past which has shaped the future into which he sees us drifting (New Society). Weapons of Happiness is a vision of revolution which is quite extraordinary in its creative ambiguity, its richness, its power to stimulate, to threaten and to inspire (Sunday Times) while Epsom Downs echoes Bartholomew Fair: a great public festival, held on common land and pulling in punters of every degree...a teaming, Bruegel-like composition (The Times) The last play in this collection Sore Throats, is a witty and harsh examination of sexual proclivities from within and outside marriage: No recent play compares for theatrical power and painful bravado. (Observer)
