Contemporary Dramatists

A second collection of plays from one of Britain''s most original dramatists



This second volume of plays includes Vampire: ''The height of comedy, a manic, hellzapoppin of invention, sliding from verbal frolics to pure slapstick'' (The Times); The Glad Hand: ''A full-blooded theatrical experience which is also - praise be - good fun to watch. Its energetic, imaginative nonsense spills out ideas, situations, crises, comedy and political harangue in a fire-work display of non-sequitur, whiz-bang high spirits'' (Sunday Telegraph); The Grass Widow: ''Hilariously confirms that Mr Wilson is the liveliest and most enlivening English dramatists of his generation'' (Sunday Telegraph); Sabina: A typically surreal and unrestrained work ... wonderfully theatrical.''

"Snoo Wilson tackles dark pockets of human endeavour with an original wit and a savage humour" (Financial Times).
