Review: This book which l'm only half way through currently, is very easy to read and follow, you're given a description of the four characters at the start which helps and it is written as the play with directions throughout such as the tone of what they're saying or doing whilst speaking which makes it easier to play the show out in your mind. Would recommend...........

Review: My problem with this brilliantly conceived play - a married couple play-act about their non-existent son, is - why do I want to spend two hours of my life listening to two drunkards tear each other apart in the most obnoxious, abominable way? Yes, the dialogue is top dollar, possibly the best I've read but I was waiting and wanting for the married visitors, Nick and Honey, to fight back. Instead they remain foils for George and Martha's non-stop vitriol. Glad I read it but the play is not on my 'best' list. Freak Out!: My Life With Frank Zappa

    Price: £9.99

    Description: Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? shocked audiences and critics alike with its assault on decorum. At base though, the play is simply a love story: an examination of a long-wedded life, filled with the hopes, dreams, disappointments, and pain that accompany the passing of many years together. While the ethos of the play is tragicomic, it is the anachronistic, melodramatic secret object | ??the nonexistent son | ??that upends the audience's sense of theatrical normalcy. The mean and vulgar bile spewed among the characters hides these elements, making it feel like something entirely new. As Michael Y. Bennett reveals, the play is the same emperor, just wearing new clothes. In short, it is straight out of the grand tradition of living room drama: Ibsen, Chekhov, Glaspell, Hellmann, O' Neill, Wilder, Miller, Williams, and Albee.

  • Waterstones The Diary of Virginia Woolf: Volume 2

    Price: £30.00

    Description: With an introduction by Adam Phillips Monday 17 July 1922. Back from Garsington, & too unsettled to write - I meant to say read; but then this does not count as writing. It is to me like scratching; or, if it goes well, like having a bath - which of course, I did not get at Garsington. 1920. The war is over, and Virginia Woolf is meeting friends old and new, from Maynard Keynes to Vita Sackville-West. She is reading and reviewing voraciously, and the Hogarth Press is thriving. Jacob's Room was published in 1922, and Woolf began work on what was to become Mrs Dalloway. This was a time of creative highs and lows, as well as a growing confidence as Woolf developed her distinctive literary voice.
