Sinopse

These four new short plays were written over the first twenty years of the 21stáCentury by master playwright Keith Dewhurst, who is perhaps best known for his much-loved, groundbreaking adaptation of Flora ThompsonâÇÖs Lark Rise to Candleford. In this volume, SamâÇÖs Father and Hannah Vine create an unintended, formidable double-bill examining the impacts of modern feminism, while the latter two plays place us firmly in the 19th Century. Steerforth in Italy is an entertaining fantasy based on what might have happened had DickensâÇÖ David Copperfield attempted to rescue âÇÖLittle EmâÇÖlyâÇÖ from James SteerforthâÇÖs clutches, while St Boniface Gardens captures conversations between Karl Marx and his doctor during MarxâÇÖs last years on the Isle of Wight. Published for the first time, the collection represents the work of one of the great dramatists of the English theatre at the height of his powers.The plays are introduced with a foreword by Patrick Miles, literary consultant and translator to the National Theatre (1977-2015).Summary and Cast breakdowns:SamâÇÖs Father: A womanâÇÖs decision and twenty years later (1 woman, 2 men)Hannah Vine: A pulp biographer finds more than she bargained for (2 women, 1 man)Steerforth in Italy: David Copperfield seeks the betrayed little EmâÇÖly (1 woman, 4 men)St Boniface Gardens: Karl Marx and his doctor on the Isle of Wight (2 women, 2 men)
