Published by Marion Boyars
Collected together for the first time are six astonishingly radical plays and ten short pieces from one of the most important playwrights to emerge from the aftermath of WW2
In The Card Index the fractured hero is simultaneously a child, a middle-aged man, and a corpse
In The Witnesses a young boy is observed by a married couple who exchange banalities as the boy methodically tortures a kitten
In Gone Out a wife insists her amnesiac husband must be made to remember the misery of his old life despite his new-found happiness
