About this title

About the Author:

N. Richard Nash has taught at Bryn Mawr College, Haverford, Brandeis, the University of Pennsylvania, and has lectured at Yale and Princeton.

From Library Journal:

Nash writes romances: his one famous play, "The Rainmaker" (1954), which begins this collection, marks the genre. The remaining seven plays are mostly unproduced in America, which makes his place in American drama problematical, though he has a more substantial reputation in Europe. The plays, which vary in style and subject matter, include a grim fantasy about an imagined meeting between O'Neill and Chaplin, a Depression-era coming-of-age story, a fantasy-romance on Italian Renaissance themes, a book for a musical based on Tom Jones, a comedy, and a modern morality play. The text lacks any indication of when these plays were written and a context in which to read them; editorial care and a preface by the author would have helped. For comprehensive American drama collections only.?Thomas E. Luddy, Salem State Coll., Mass.
