| Description: |
"This is spell-binding, mind-challenging drama that touches greatness: and what is more, it is written in that wonderful Arden language that seems to be hewn out of granite." Michael Billington (The Guardian) |
| Synopsis: |
Set between 1860 and 1880, four deserters bring the body of a dead soldier back to his home town, a mining community in the grip of a coal strike and cut off by snow. Their leader, Serjeant Musgrave, plans to hold the town at gunpoint and confront its people with the realities of warfare. Arden's play questions the military principle of "Obey or suffer" and the cruelty and futility of war.Serjeant Musgrave's Dance was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre in 1959.This volume contains expert notes on the author's life and work, historical and political background to the play and a glossary of difficult words and phrases. |
