A Marvellous Year for Plums: Oberon Modern Plays

Autor Hugh Whitemore
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2012
Britain in 1956: the Suez Crisis.Prime Minister Anthony Eden, described by a colleague as 'half mad baronet and half beautiful woman', is faced with the terrible possibility of leading his country into war. His health is collapsing. His friends, colleagues and opponents, among them Hugh Gaitskell and Ian Fleming and his wife Ann, are facing crises of their own, crises of conscience and crises of the heart. Hugh Whitemore's new play is a true epic: a suspenseful thriller, an achingly romantic love story and a fascinating examination of a flashpoint in our history which still resonates today. What is the cost of an 'illegal' war?

Recenzii

This intelligent, well-ordered play stirred some bitter memories
[A] sophisticated political thriller
Whitemore's concentration on the human follies and affections makes a play that will last.
