Description: |
Three plays by comic dramatist Michael Frayn, compiled as a follow-up edition to "Michael Frayn Plays: One". Included is Frayn's adaptation of Chekhov's first play, here called "Wild Honey". "Balmoral" and "Benefactors" are touched by politics and social indictments of people and systems. |
Synopsis: |
"One of theatre's subtlest, most sophisticated minds" (The Times) Benefactors conjures the world of the suburbs observed through the lens of post-imperialism; "dazzling. This prismatic work circumscribes the disillusionment of an era" (New York Times); Balmoral dares to imagine what Britain would be like if it had gone through the Russian revolution in 1917; "a sophisticated drollery, an educated amusement" (New Statesman); Wild Honey is a reworking of Checkov's first play (also known as Platonov) and is shot through with farce, feminism and eroticism. |
