Descripci�n

Penguin Plays. New English Dramatists 14. First impression of the first edition thus - first publication of this collection. ***Very good in gold colour-illustrated wrappers. Edges of wrappers rubbed. Paper slightly browned. Slight creasing to a few pages at the fore-edge. Reading crease to spine. Very light foxing to fore-edge. No tears. Spine tight. ***180 mm x110 mm. 252 pages including twelve-page introduction by Edwin Morgan to the fore. ***'English Dramatists 14 is a varied collection of two full-length and five one-act plays. It has an especially strong northern flavour, since of the playwrights three are Scots and two are from the North Country. ***A theme of the collection is the common attempt to rediscover some kind of poetry which is valid in the theatre today. In The Mighty Reservoy, a powerful play whose characters move under the menace of a cast water-tower, Peter Terson's language is pungent and direct. The Restoration of Arthur Middleton the other full-length play, is a tantalizing and ambiguous drama in which Storey uses both comic and serious verse passages to show the encroachment of fantasy on the real life of his hero. The heightened lyrical prose of the seduction scene in The King and the word patterns in Walking Through Seaweed work very much as poetry works. B. S. Johnson's play, which has also been made into an experimental film, is written in verse. And The Doomsday Show uses singing and chanting to achieve its apocalyptic effects.' (Quote from rear wrapper blurb). ***First impression of the first edition thus - first publication of this collection. ***Of interest to collectors of B. S. Johnson, David Storey, George MacBeth, 1970s Penguin titles and collectable paperbacks. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. N� de ref. del art�culo 6563
