| Description: |
Includes three classic plays such as A Patriot for Me, Luther, and Inadmissible Evidence. |
| Synopsis: |
This third collection of John Osborne's dramatic work includes three classic plays for the stage which confirm his reputation as one of the greatest British playwrights of the twentieth century. A Patriot for Me - "It is a landmark play in its open treatment of homosexuality and in the breadth of its historical canvas ...few post-war plays have dealt so brilliantly with the way the individual, in rejecting the ethos of his society, also uncannily reflects it". (Guardian). Luther - "The language is urgent and sinewy, packed with images that derive from bone, blood and marrow; the prose, especially in Luther's sermons, throbs with a rhetorical zeal that has not been heard in English historical drama since the seventeenth century". (Kenneth Tynan). Inadmissible Evidence - "This is a work of stunning and intemperate power, a great bellow of rage and pain ...there is a self-lacerating honesty about his writing that few other playwrights have come close to matching". (Daily Telegraph). |
