| Description: |
This collection of Ben Elton plays includes three works: "Gasping" is a satire on yuppiedom, advertising and corporate greed; "Silly Cow" is a satire on the modern world; and "Popcorn" adopts the sick humour, violence and sexiness of the Stone-Tarantino school of film-making. |
| Synopsis: |
Ben Elton's plays in one volume for the first timeGasping: ". . . an often hilarious satire on yuppiedom, advertising and corporate greed" (Daily Telegraph); ". . . the sharpest futuristic comedy since Henceforward, and the best Green comedy since The Good Life was young."(Financial Times). Silly Cow: "It has an ingenious plot. . . another perfect occasion for a Ben Elton satire on the modern world. . ." (Financial Times). Popcorn: "An enjoyable, intelligent, thought-provoking play" (Independent); "It thrills on stage precisely because it adopts the sick humour, sickening violence and downright sexiness of the Stone-Tarantino school of film-making that Elton is satirising" (Evening Standard). |
