Cover Title Author

Two powerful expressionist plays from the early career of one of the twentieth century's most significant writers. The Hairy Ape is a nightmarish condemnation of the dehumanising effects of industrialisation on the American people. All God's Chillun Got Wings is a vigorous social commentary based around a violently dysfunctional mixed-race marriage.

The Iceman Cometh
Eugene O'Neill

Harry Hope's Saloon is a waterfront bar full of life's failures. They exist barely, living on the knowledge that love is a chimera and despair is perpetual; that the desires they cultivate of an impossible future are only ever pipe dreams, because the only thing to look forward to is death. And then one day Hickey walks in with his own personal brand of hope, and his urge to make them face the truth.

Brilliant Lies
David Williamson

Williamson turns his penetrating eye and sharply focused wit to issues of political correctness and sexual harassment. A serious comedy, Brilliant Lies is a stimulating contribution to the continuing debate on our changing social values.

Liz has retreated to the mountains from the furore created by her latest book. Her husband Gareth is driving to visit her but is shaken when a woman runs into the path of his car—the consequences for all three adults are far-reaching.

Sunday in the Park with George
