First paperback printing, very good paperback shows some mild rubbing to wraps and light soil at page edges, otherwise tight and clean. 372 pages followed by a musical score. Still a pleasing copy of this ".mesmerizing dramatic trilogy.". Seller Inventory # 34552

Synopsis:

Completed in 1983, this mesmerizing dramatic trilogy is destined to take its place beside The Playboy of the Western World, Waiting for Godot and The Homecoming as a classic of the modern theatre. Always surprising, witty and intelligent, Basso's plays move gracefully through both history and the history of theatre, incorporating at times the slapstick of Ionesco, the brooding heaviness of Ibsen, the passion, language and scope of the great Elizabethan dramatists. A powerfully moving odyssey, a transmutation of language from base metal to gold, a work of grandeur and pity.
