Böcker av Harley Granville Barker

Published to tie in with the revival of this classic play by Harley Granville-Barker at the Almeida Theatre, 25 Sept - 15 Nov.

Edward's highly principled world is turned upside down when his father reveals that he has been illegally speculating with clients' money. To make matters worse, he soon discovers his scandal-fearing family would perpetuate the crime rather than risk public dishonour. This work is a portrait of an upper middle class family.

A work based on the author's experience as a director and actor and his scholarly knowledge of the Elizabethan stage.

This is one of a series of books that provide a guide to Shakespeare's plays. The prefaces include endorsements by both actors and directors.

These plays are from the major British director of the first quarter of this century. His best-known plays including "Waste", were written as contributions to his company's repertoire of modern drama for a national theatre. "Waste" and "The Voysey Inheritance" played at the 1992 Edinburgh Festival.

Harley Granville Barker's plays are enjoying a revival. This volume contains four plays: "The Marrying of Ann Leete", "The Madras House" - recently performed at the Edinbugh Festival and the Lyric, Hammersmith - "His Majesty" and "Farewell To The Theatre".
