Diverse Women's Plays
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is the third volume in Methuen's series of anthologies by women, offering an indication of the wide range of style and subject matter tackled by women playwrights. Included are Aunt Mary, by Pam Gems, a surreal and sometimes satirical play about assorted artists and their unconventional lifestyles, Debbie Horsfield's Red Devils, a gritty, fast-moving play about four teenage football fans - girls from Manchester, Sharon Pollucks's Blood Relations, a theatrically exciting re-telling of the terrible tale of Lizzie Borden and Time Pieces, by Lou Wakefield and the Women's Theatre Group, a revue-stlye panorama of the lives of three generations of women in the same family, their similarities and differences. Each play has an afterword by the author and the volume opens with an introduction by the series editor, Michelle Wandor. -- from book's back cover
