  • The History Boys: A Playby Alan Bennett

    Faber & Faber 2006; US$ 14.99

    "A play of depth as well as dazzle, intensely moving as well as thought-provoking and funny." -- The Daily Telegraph An unruly bunch of bright, funny sixth-form (or senior) boys in a British boys' school are, as such boys will be, in pursuit of sex, sport, and a place at a good university, generally in that order.

  • Spring Awakeningby Ted Hughes; Frank Wedekind

    Faber & Faber 1996; US$ 8.99

    This version of Frank Wedekind's extraordinary play Spring Awakening was specially commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

  • Plays Politicalby Dan Laurence; George Bernard Shaw

    Penguin Books Ltd 1999; Not Available

    While some of Shaw's earlier plays are still performed, his later plays, such as the ones in this volume, are barely known. As the collective title indicates, the themes here are political; yet, frankly, it is doubtful how seriously we can now take Shaw as a political thinker. Despite writing in the 1930s, he has little to say of the nature of totalitarianism:... more...

  • The Wakefield Mystery Playsby Martial Rose

    Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2012; US$ 15.00

    Four hundred years ago the medieval mystery plays, presented each year in various English villages to teach the stories of the Bible to the illiterate population, were the great classic English dramas.
