Perry Pontac

Published by Oberon

9 Male 6 Female

Having created a new Shakespearean canon - Prince Lear & Hamlet - Part II & Fatal Loins - in his previous collection of plays aptly dubbed Codpieces, Perry Pontac now turns his attention to other great names in European culture ...

The Bards of Bromley presents the first meeting of a writers' workshop attended by a group of unusually promising authors - William Wordsworth, George Eliot, August Strindberg, A A Milne and Johan Wolfgang von Goethe

The Three Seagulls reveals a Chekhovian comedy with representative characters drawn from each of Chekhov's major plays - as well as a generous selection of his plot-lines

And in The Lunchtime of the Gods Richard Wagner's Ring is re-cycled into a thirty-minute play telling the entire tale - plus several jokes not in the original
