NEW NEW JAN-14 Jun-13 The Forest and the Field Chris Goode Programme Notes: Case Studies For Locating Experimental Theatre PB9781849434751 E9781849438605 £12.99 The Forest and the Field is a polemical thinking-through of the whole concept of theatre as a ‘space’, and a politically motivated exploration of how, and where, that theatrical space meets the real world that surrounds and suffuses it. The book begins by demolishing the notion of the ‘empty space’ and drawing careful and suggestive distinctions between ‘space’ and ‘place’. It moves on to consider how the body – of the actor, or of the spectator – is read within the theatrical encounter, and how meaning is created in the turbulent movement of signs between performer and audience. Finally it interrogates the wider relationship between theatre and its ‘outside’, culminating in an attempt to answer the familiar question of whether theatre can change the world – and, if it can, how it might. ‘British theatre’s greatest maverick talent.’ Independent on Sunday on Chris Goode Revised and Expanded Second Edition Edited by Lois Keidan and CJ Mitchell PB9781849434591 E9781849438094 £10.00 A collection of commissioned essays, case studies and interviews reflecting the exciting and complex relationships between ‘mainstream’ stages and ‘experimental’ theatre practices.

Based in Glasgow, it was formed of a core group of associate artists who collaborated in making groundbreaking, high-quality new work which gained an international reputation. Over the course of its 16-year history the company worked with some of the most respected artists and organizations in the UK and internationally, and made a significant contribution to the British theatre scene of the 1990s and early 2000s.

This book surveys the company’s history and ideas and includes contributions from many of the company’s significant members including David Greig, cofounder, writer and dramaturg with Suspect Culture; Graham Eatough, co-founder and Artistic Director; and the perspective of the company from Brazilian director and writer Mauricio Paroni de Castro, one of Suspect Culture’s many international associates.

But from the stages of national theatres to fringe venues and universities everywhere, ‘verbatim’ theatre, as it has come to be known, is currently enjoying unprecedented attention and success. It has also attracted high-profile criticism and impassioned debate. In these wide-ranging essays and interviews, six leading dramatists describe their varying approaches to verbatim, examine the strengths and weaknesses of its techniques and explore the reasons for its current popularity. They discuss frankly the unique opportunities and ethical dilemmas that arise when portraying real people on stage, and consider some of the criticisms levelled at this controversial documentary form.

It is her manifesto for a return to the words themselves: for moving away from an over-conceptualised, over-literal view of language and rediscovering the meaning in its sounds and rhythms. At the heart of this book is a concise, practical guide for directors in rehearsal, setting out work strategies that help bring out both the shape and the details within all kinds of text – whether verse or prose, seventeenth-century or contemporary. ‘Cicely Berry has based her work on the conviction that while all is present in nature our natural instincts have been crippled from birth by many processes – by the conditioning, in fact, of a warped society. So an actor needs precise exercise and clear understanding to liberate his hidden possibilities and to learn the hard task of being true to “the instinct of the moment”.’ Peter Brook bestseller bestseller 10 OCT-11 The Oberon Glossary of Theatrical Terms: theatre jargon explained Second edition Colin Winslow PB9781849430913 E9781849437103 £14.99 The Oberon Glossary of Theatrical Terms includes explanations of over 1,300 technical, backstage, acting, musical, dance and showbusiness terms in common usage.

Examines the actor’s soul with a precision that is acutely painful and appallingly funny.’ Richard E. Grant ‘Steven Berkoff is different. His Tales of an Actor speak with a bracing honesty of experience in the theatre with which all actors are familiar, but which few have dared to articulate. He is a pioneer. His views are both caustic and invigorating… I hope they will be read by anyone interested in the theatre and in the work of actors.’ Paul Scofield ‘Steven Berkoff’s funny and touching Tales of an Actor strikes one with all the terrors and stupidity and hilarity with which we combat our ill-chosen, foolish way of life.’ Alec McCowen Harry is a dedicated actor, often out of work, rejected and desperate for opportunities to practise his art. Brief moments of success only serve to increase his thirst for fulfilment. In these moving, sometimes harrowing short stories Steven Berkoff tears the skin off the acting profession to reveal the raw, bleeding reality of the actor’s everyday life. Edited by Patrick O’Kane PB9781840029567 £15.99 Eleven experienced actors who have made a living, a life, in theatre, television and film, share their process, comment on their experiences and consider their role as theatre artists within the broader spectrum of Art and Culture.

A book that actors can mine for tips on craftsmanship and the business. A book that reveals to directors which approaches enable actors and which block them. A book that calls the UK industry to attention: actors should be embraced as primary creators along with the writer, director and designer of any production. ‘The book is a rare creature, offering privileged and disarmingly frank encounters… It will engage anyone involved in or in love with theatre – practitioners, critics, customers, administrators, agents, teachers, students.’ Irish Theatre ‘An excellent exposé of the trials and tribulations, joys and insecurities of a life on the stage.’ British Theatre Guide ‘Plenty of tips here both on actor craftsmanship and on how the industry works.’ The Stage ‘This is a book about the precious dedication that makes this profession ancient and new. A clutch of wonderful minds provoked, represent the important ongoing conversation about stories, skill and life.

Actors are required to perform monologues regularly throughout their career: preparing for drama school entry, showcasing skills for agents or auditioning for a role. Following on from the bestselling first volumes (2008), these new books showcase selected monologues from some of the finest modern plays by some of today’s leading contemporary playwrights, published in the last five years, including Dennis Kelly, John Logan, Chris Goode, Anya Reiss, Laura Wade, Mojisola Adebayo, Will Eno, Natasha Langridge, among others. These monologues contain a diverse range of quirky and memorable characters that cross cultural and historical boundaries. The pieces are helpfully organised into age-specific groups: ‘Teens’, ‘Twenties’, ‘Thirties’ and ‘Forties plus’. ‘Anyone applying to train, preparing a showcase or auditioning for a job needs a fund of good sparky monologues, and they can be quite difficult to find. So I think many people are going to be grateful to voice coach Catherine Weate who has assembled and edited two further books of modern monologues.’ The Stage ‘…there is sufficient scope here for anyone in search of the piece to impress… I’d highly recommend these books.’ Teaching Drama on previous volumes See also: The Oberon Book of Modern Monologues for Women Volume One and The Oberon Book of Modern Monologues for Men Volume One on page 18 13 www.oberonbooks.com Monologues, duologues a n d s o l o pl a y s 1 FEB-12 May-11 Queer Voices including Oscar Wilde’s The Remarkable Rocket Neil Bartlett I, Shakespeare Tim Crouch PB9781849431668 E9781849435536 £9.99 Although his mainstream career has recently included major work for the RSC and the National, the five new pieces collected here show just how close playwright and director Neil Bartlett has stayed to the radical queer cultural roots that first brought him to prominence in the early 1980s. Commissioned to be performed in spaces as diverse as South London’s notorious Vauxhall Tavern, Brighton’s Theatre Royal and the pulpit of Westminster Abbey, these hit-and-run dramatic monologues bring all of his trademark wit and passion to bear on the issues that run throughout his work – the power of love, and the necessity for anger. Together, they make up a trenchantly personal take on what it feels like to have spent nearly thirty years standing up and speaking one’s mind. www.oberonbooks.com NEW NEW 14 The collection also includes his 2011 adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s The Remarkable Rocket, which uses the diamond-sharp text of one of Wilde’s children’s stories as the springboard for a haunting meditation on the enduring power of Wilde to inspire, dazzle and move. This new collection is vivid, fierce and tender, with five provocative and highly actable new works from one of British theatre’s most idiosyncratic voices. See also: Solo Voices: Monologues 1987-2004 on page 18 PB9781849431262 E9781849435352 £10.99 I, Shakespeare brings together Tim Crouch’s take on four Shakespeare classics: Twelfth Night, Macbeth, The Tempest and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. These solo pieces are written for younger audiences but their originality and strength make them suitable for any age. Each play in this collection combines the need to tell Shakespeare’s primary story with an opportunity for the secondary characters to finally have their say – Malvolio, Banquo, Caliban and Peaseblossom. Each play displays a formal inventiveness and a philosophical playfulness that make them stand alone as brilliant examples of contemporary theatre. ‘If only the plays were taught like this in schools, nobody would ever say Shakespeare was boring.’ Guardian ‘Crouch [is] making a tradition of solo shows in which Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead-like, he elaborates on the late, great Will’s minor characters… delightful.’ Huffington Post ‘Funny, fresh, vibrant and often moving... A drama teacher might use one of these plays – or part of one – as a piece of solo practical work for GCSE or A level... They have potential for English & PSHE lessons too.’ Teaching Drama See also: Tim Crouch in Focus on page 27 MAY-13 chewing gum dREAMS Michaela Coel PB9781783190140 E9781783195138 PB9781849434805 E9781849433655 £9.99 Tracey Gordon, the 67 bus, friendship, sex, UK garage, school, music, teachers, friendship, periods, emergency contraceptive, arse and tits, friendship, raves, tampons, white boys, God, money.

Her play tackles some difficult themes, including sexual assault, violence, and underachievement across generations…a serious new talent.’ Londonist ‘…a promising, resilient artist.’ Ché Walker £9.99 Behold the newest nobody of the funniest century yet. He’s almost Christ-like, from a distance, in terms of height and weight. Listen closely or drift off uncontrollably, as he speaks to you directly about the notion of home, about the notion of the world. All of it delivered with the authority that is the special province of the unsure and the unhomed, which is a word he made up accidentally. Title and Deed is a provocative new work by Pulitzer Prize finalist and Horton Foote Prize winner Will Eno. ‘A haunting and often fiercely funny meditation on life as a state of permanent exile... The marvel of Mr. Eno’s voice is how naturally it combines a carefully sculptured lyricism with sly, poker-faced humor.’ New York Times Black T-Shirt Collection Inua Ellams PB9781849431910 PB9781849432955 £9.99 A T-shirt is something most people have. It is a common denominator like a pair of blue jeans or a pair of Converse All Stars. From Fringe First winner Inua Ellams, comes a story about two foster brothers building a global T-shirt brand. On their journey from a market in Nigeria to a sweatshop in China, Matthew and Muhammed discover the consequences of success. The play tackles capitalism and exploitation, as well as sectarianism and homophobia in modern-day Nigeria. ‘Alights like an elegant butterfly on a great many issues, including homophobia, sectarianism and the demands of capital… Ellams offers an easy intimacy, and the story tumbles out with a low-key virtuosity, the words falling skittishly over each other.’ Guardian ‘Full of arresting images that create a hybrid of lyrical ecstasy and cinematic effects…a fluent, intense 70-minute confection and a tinglingly resonant celebration of the art of solo performance.’ Evening Standard 15 www.oberonbooks.com Mar-12 MAY-12 Title and Deed Will Eno NEW NEW NEW solo PLAYS 1 Sep-12 FEB-13 AUG-12 Private Peaceful Michael Morpurgo Bitch Boxer Charlotte Josephine Bottleneck Luke Barnes Adapted by Simon Reade PB9781849435017 E9781849435710 £9.99 Private Peaceful relives the life of Private Tommo Peaceful, a young First World War soldier awaiting the firing squad at dawn.

The show is suffused with both pain and nostalgia, but also something tougher and more resilient… it creates a world so artfully that you leave the theatre swearing you’ve travelled to Georgia and back.’ Guardian ‘It’s a heady sensation, thanks to the buoyant, witty writing of Mr. Logan… Tangy and funny…a delectable soufflé of a solo show.’ New York Times This play opened on Broadway in 2013, starring Bette Midler.

The result is a unique exercise in self-description, partisan but without the shrill selfjustification so common in a mere autobiography. Barker/Houth's A Style and its Origins is very much a literary creation; it is also a totally original document and a rich history of the dramatist and his aesthetic.

DEC-11 Trash Cuisine and Minsk 2011: Two Plays by Belarus Free Theatre Natalia Kaliada and Nikolai Khalezin PB9781783190171 E9781783195169 £9.99 Belarus Free Theatre was founded in 2005 in Europe’s last surviving dictatorship and every member of the company has, at one time or another, been imprisoned, threatened or mistreated by the authorities, or they live in fear for their safety. They have all lost their jobs. In retaliation, they defiantly produce, devise and perform award-winning plays with the support of artists around the world. This volume presents two of the Company’s most recent plays, Trash Cuisine and Minsk 2011 (A Reply to Kathy Acker), performed to much acclaim around the world. It is the first publication in a new partnership between Belarus Free Theatre and Oberon Books which we hope will help raise the profile of one of the world’s bravest and boldest theatre companies working in extraordinary circumstances. ‘Polemic, however, is not the method of Belarus Free theatre. As anyone who saw Being Harold Pinter will know, they make their points through an exuberant inventiveness…remarkable.’ Michael Billington, Guardian ‘…beautiful and brutal... Like many of the richest moments in theater, this one involves very simple elements: black ink, a long roll of brown paper and a naked woman.’ Ben Brantley, New York Times 29 www.oberonbooks.com Oberon Modern P l ay w r i g h t s 1 JAN-13 Oladipo Agboluaje: Plays One Oladipo Agboluaje Introduction by Victor I. Ukaegbu PB9781849432399 E9781849436687 £15.99 www.oberonbooks.com Since his debut in 2003 Agboluaje has become one of the most prolific of the third generation of Black British playwrights. These plays demonstrate Agboluaje’s versatility and ability to write plays that transcend African and British cultures. ‘[These] plays reveal distinguishing characteristics that have come to define Agboluaje’s dramaturgy… an over-arching concern for interrogating the impacts of macro conditions on individuals and sections of British society alike, in other words, using the microscopic as point and canvas from which to interrogate the forces and conditions that shape relations at all levels.’ Dr Victor I. Ukaegbu ‘An exciting, vital new voice’ Time Out ‘Agboluaje writes with a sharp, satiric eye.’ Guardian ‘Satirical yet sympathetic, brutal yet beautifully observed.’ The Times OCT-13 Jun-13 Ben Travers: Four FarceS Ben Travers PB9781849434430 E9781849437936 NEW NEW NEW 30 £16.99 In a writing career spanning 60 years, Ben Travers is regarded as the master of the ‘Aldwych Farces’. Published at a time when there is a renewed interest in and appreciation of farce, the four plays in this collection are representative of Travers’ work at its best and most characteristic. This collection includes the classic farces Rookery Nook, Thark, Plunder and The Bed Before Yesterday. The Bards of Bromley and other Plays Perry Pontac Foreword by Maureen Lipman PB9781849434270 E9781849437776 £9.99 Following on from the great success of Pontac’s Shakespeare parody collection Codpieces, comes a collection of three more plays, each inspired by the work of other playwrights. These plays are comedies about high culture: Chekhov in the first; Wagner in the second; and several revered authors – as well as the world of writers’ workshops – in the third. ‘Perry may be from California – indeed from Tinseltown itself, and may have a name like an early twentieth-century car, but his style is English to the ‘Cor’. He writes comfortably in iambic pentameter, sweeping Wagnerian phrases or heightened nineteenth-century prose. He’s delighted by his own naughtiness and he makes a gift to the reader of that delight. Roll it from your eyes to your tongue, like tears, and relish, as I do, the ever-so fruity yet slightly salty content.’ Maureen Lipman NEW FEB-12 The Bomb: A Partial History Various PB9781849431521 £14.99 The Bomb: A Partial History is a collection of plays from leading contemporary dramatists which premiered at London’s Tricycle Theatre. The plays chart the political history of the Nuclear Bomb and its proliferation from 1940 to the present day. Includes plays by Colin Teevan, Ron Hutchinson, Ryan Craig, Lee Blessing, Amit Gupta, David Greig, John Donnelly, Elena Gremina, Zinnie Harris, Diana Son. ‘An astonishing achievement… The Tricycle has once again started a debate that our politicians would prefer to suppress.’ Guardian ‘A vivid, serious examination of one of the most pressing issues of our time.’ Financial Times SEP-12 AUG-12 The Oberon Anthology of Contemporary Irish Plays: The Oberon ANTHOLOGY of Contemporary American Plays: Volume One Edited by Mark Subias Foreword by André Bishop ‘This is just this.

A hit at the Edinburgh Festival 2012 where it was awarded the Best of Edinburgh Fringe Award, an Edinburgh Fringe First Award and an Edinburgh Herald Angel Award, Mies Julie was named one of the top ten plays of 2012 by both the Guardian and New York Times. ‘Miss Julie has never raged quite so fiercely as she does in this searing and fearless new version… savage and unbound. Brilliant.’ Guardian ‘Gets you watching as if your life depended on it, and leaves you heart-wrecked.’ Sunday Times PB9781849434904 E9781849438360 £9.99 It is the Jubilee! Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee, 1887. At Tilbury Docks, Rani and Abdul step ashore after the long voyage from India. One has to battle a society who deems her a secondclass citizen, the other forges an astonishing entanglement with the ageing Queen Victoria who finds herself enchanted by stories of an India she rules but has never seen. ‘The Empress is a delightful & insightful evening’ What’s on stage ‘Tanika Gupta’s fascinating new theatre production has got “make this into a movie” written all over it’ Telegraph The Empress opened at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratfordupon-Avon in April 2013. www.oberonbooks.com 45 1 SEP-12 MAR-13 MAR-13 Scenes from an Execution Howard Barker Moby-Dick Sebastian Armesto; Based on the novel by Herman Melville I Didn’t Always Live Here Stewart Conn PB9781849434683 E9781849435574 £9.99 Includes an essay by Howard Barker, ‘The Sunless Garden of the Unconsoled: Some Destinations Beyond Catastrophe’ Commissioned to paint a vast canvas celebrating the triumphant Battle of Lepanto, the free-spirited Galactia creates instead a breathtaking scene of war-torn carnage. In her fierce determination to stay true to herself, she alienates the authorities and faces incarceration. Her younger lover Carpeta is approached to take over and seizes the assignment for himself. ‘shows Barker's poetic talent at its most disciplined and has the feel of a contemporary classic.’ Guardian www.oberonbooks.com NEW NEW NEW EDITION 46 ‘a modern study of the meaning of art and the truth of war… this play has a timeless power and truthfulness.’ The Stage This play was revived at the National Theatre in September 2012. PB 9781849435109 E 9781849433990 £9.99 Nantucket. 1851. Centre of a whaling industry that transformed blubber into the oils and candles that lit the world. It’s there that a schoolmaster called Ishmael arrives to ship on a whale-boat. He enrols under Ahab, Captain of the Pequod – a man bent on destroying the white whale that lost him his leg. Certain the destruction of his nemesis will slake his thirst, Ahab’s single-minded pursuit of Moby-Dick consumes Ishmael, the crew and the Pequod itself. The spirit and atmosphere of Herman Melville’s masterpiece – romantic, ambiguous, characterful and rich with allegory – is captured on stage in this new adaptation. ‘[a] bold and brilliant stage adaptation… The script is well crafted, turning the dated but nonetheless adventure-filled novel, into an accessible show, full of the story’s original poetry… This is two hours of immensely entertaining theatre, complete with gold doubloons, sea shanties and rum’ Telegraph PB 9781783190010 E 9781783195015 £9.99 Glasgow, the 1970s. Martha and Amie are old neighbours, trapped in their decaying tenement and cut off from family and friends. With the present closing in and the future uncertain, Martha and Amie’s real companions are the past and their memories of ordinary lives peopled by extraordinary characters and their struggles and triumphs. One of multiaward-winning playwright and poet Stewart Conn’s earliest works, I Didn’t Always Live Here is a compassionate and heart-rending journey into the forgotten lives of the dispossessed and elderly, as well as an uplifting journey into the human spirit’s capacity to cope with social exclusion and financial hardship. JUN-13 JUL-12 4000 Miles Amy Herzog Socrates and His Clouds William Lyons Sports Play Elfriede Jelinek; Translated by Penny Black PB 9781783195060 E 9781849434638 £9.99 It’s the middle of the night when 21-year-old Leo arrives on the doorstep of the West Village apartment where his feisty 91-year-old grandmother Vera lives. She’s an old Communist who lives alone, he’s a latter-day hippie, recently returned from a cross-country bike trip which ended traumatically. Over the course of a single month, these unlikely roommates infuriate, bewilder, and ultimately connect. When Leo’s old girlfriend shows up and he begins to reveal the mysterious events of his journey, Leo and Vera discover the narrow line between growing up and growing old. Peopled with nuanced, beautifully-drawn characters, Amy Herzog’s award-winning play has established her as a remarkable new talent. 4000 Miles had its 2011 world première at New York’s Lincoln Center Theater and was the winner of two Obie Awards (2012) including Best New American Play. Not available for sale outside the UK PB 9781783190065 E 9781783195053 £9.99 Strepsiades lives in Greece. He has a son and he has debt. The latter being a direct result of the former. And horses. Socrates has an Academy. He teaches students to question, think for themselves. Streps has an idea: Phiddy can go to Socrates’ Academy and learn how to talk himself out of trouble! Will Socrates reform the prodigal son? Will the creditors come knocking on their door? And what about the singing trio dogging Strepsiades’ footsteps? Socrates and his Clouds is a funny, naughty, vital exploration of the ways in which education and morality define a society in crisis. The genre of Aristophanic comedy fused with the tradition of the comic strip and enriched with philosophical debate; a new, potentially explosive cocktail. ‘Forget the hemlock. Socrates is alive and well and coming to a cloud near you... Five Stars and Cloud Nine!’ Gyles Brandreth PB9781849434027 E9781849436380 £9.99 First produced in 1998 at the famous Vienna Burgtheater, the remarkable and provocative Sports Play by Austrian playwright Elfriede Jelinek is a postdramatic theatrical exploration of the making, marketing and sale of the human body and of emotions in sport. It explores contemporary society’s obsession with fitness and body culture bringing into sharp focus our need to belong to a group, a team or a nation. Sport is seen as a form of war in peacetime. ‘Often playfully barbed… It’s valuable exposure for an important voice.’ The Times ‘bristling with ideas and fierce feeling…a text and production with much to admire, but that remains cool and clever.’ Guardian www.oberonbooks.com NEW NEW NEW APR-13 47 1 FEb-13 APR-13 MAR-13 Doctor Faustus Christopher Marlowe and Colin Teevan Sons Without Fathers: The untitled play, known as Platonov Anton Chekhov; Translated and adapted by Helena Kaut-Howson Peter and Alice John Logan PB9781849434133 E9781849437981 £9.99 Faustus’ restless quest for knowledge and his insatiable desire for notoriety drive him to make a pact with the devil in return for the power to perform the black arts. Firmly placing this classic story within a present context, the universal truths held in the 400-year-old cautionary tale resonate powerfully with the greed of today’s consumer-led society. This new adaptation combines Marlowe’s original acts with a re-imagining by Colin Teevan. ‘A thing of beauty to watch.’ The Independent ‘catches well the hellish claustrophobia of our restless urges.’ The Telegraph www.oberonbooks.com NEW NEW NEW 48 This play opened at West Yorkshire Playhouse in Spring 2013 PB9781783190041 E9781783195039 £9.99 Village schoolteacher Platonov is a man who is loved by women. Despite his best intentions he is drawn into a series of extra-marital affairs that all hold the promise of escape from the provincial Russian reality where he and his circle of friends are trapped. Consumed by bitterness and disappointment, they attempt to fill the void in their lives with sex and vodka, blaming their fathers for the mess they’ve been left in. A brand-new version of Chekhov’s Platonov, Sons Without Fathers is funnier, more brutal and more wildly passionate than the Chekhov we’ve come to know. It shines a light on this band of disaffected thirty-somethings – too old to move with the times, and too young to let go of their dreams. PB9781849434744 E9781849438414 £9.99 When Alice Liddell Hargreaves met Peter Llewelyn Davies at the opening of a Lewis Carroll exhibition in 1932, the original Alice in Wonderland came face to face with the original Peter Pan. In John Logan’s remarkable new play, enchantment and reality collide as this brief encounter lays bare the lives of these two extraordinary characters. Peter and Alice opened in London’s West End in Spring 2013, starring Judi Dench and Ben Whishaw. ‘Shattering in its intensity… it breaks your heart open’ The Times ‘a moving, 90-minute theatrical chamber piece about childhood, growing up and the pressure of literary immortality...a beautiful and searching play that will live long in the memory.’ Telegraph ‘poetic and achingly wistful… Logan’s writing is filled with arresting images…rather beautiful.’ Arts Desk MAY-13 APR-12 Desdemona Toni Morrison; Lyrics by Rokia Traoré Detroit ‘67 Dominique Morisseau 1984 George Orwell; Adapted by Matthew Dunster PB9781849433891 E9781849436359 £9.99 The story of Desdemona from Shakespeare's Othello is re-imagined by Nobel Prize laureate Toni Morrison, Malian singer and songwriter Rokia Traoré, and acclaimed stage director Peter Sellars. Here Toni Morrison transports one of the most iconic, central, and disturbing treatments of race in Western culture into the new realities and potential outcomes facing a rising generation of the twentyfirst century. ‘This is a remarkable, challenging and bravely original work.’ Guardian ‘Superbly poetic… There are tremendous passages of writing… thought-provoking.’ The Arts Desk PB9781783190003 E9781783194995 £9.99 It’s 1967 in Detroit. Motown music is getting the party started, and Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet by turning their basement into an afterhours joint. But when a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over much more than the family business. As their pent-up feelings erupt, so does their city, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the ‘67 riots. ‘Crackling with humor! Fire up some Motown, get those hips moving and everything will work out fine.’ The New York Times ‘If Detroit ‘67’s sequels prove as good as it does, the search for the next Wilson or Hansberry could nearly be over.’ Talkin’ Broadway Detroit ‘67 opened at The Public Theater, New York, and transferred to the Classical Theater of Harlem at the National Black Theatre in Spring 2013. PB9781849432269 E9781849433495 £9.99 The well-known tale of 1984 is here dramatised by Matthew Dunster. War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. ‘Dunster – both in his faithful take on the story and in his sometimes extreme but always enthralling adaptation – gets close to the heart of Orwell’s warning, pointing up but not overemphasising its current political resonances.’ Independent www.oberonbooks.com NEW NEW NEW JUL-12 49 1 NOV-12 JAN-13 FEB-13 The Magistrate Arthur Wing Pinero The Captain of Köpenick Carl Zuckmayer; Adapted by Ron Hutchinson The Full Monty Simon Beaufoy PB9781849434577 E9781849437295 £9.99 With his louche air and a developed taste for smoking, gambling, port and women, it’s hard to believe Cis Farringdon is only fourteen. And that’s because he isn’t. Agatha his mother lopped five years from her true age and his when she married the amiable Posket. High jinks and high-spirited carousing are at the heart of this hilarious farce. ‘A Victorian corker of a show.’ Daily Mail ‘The more Wildean lines and jolts of wit mean The Magistrate remains likeable seasonal fare.’ Evening Standard ‘Pinero’s still-viable, timeproof play...is elegantly structured.’ Guardian www.oberonbooks.com NEW NEW NEW 50 ‘The riotous comedy of Arthur Wing Pinero’s classic Victorian farce… [is] as crisp, ripe and funny as the ongoing hit One Man, Two Guvnors.’ Daily Express Revived by the National Theatre at Christmas 2012.

PB 9781849434461 E 9781849434621 £9.99 In 1997, a BAFTA awardwinning British film about six out of work Sheffield steelworkers with nothing to lose took the world by storm. And now they’re back, live on stage, only for them, it really has to be The Full Monty. Simon Beaufoy, the Oscar-winning writer of the film, has now gone back to Sheffield where it all started to rediscover the men, the women, the heartache and the hilarity of a city on the dole. ‘uproariously entertaining… Every inch a whopping hit.’ The Telegraph ‘the Full Monty in more than one sense. It’s a raucous and touching piece of popular theatre…this is a show with a heart the size of Sheffield. It’s a total blast.’ Guardian £9.99 From Morning To Midnight (1912), among the most frequently performed German Expressionist works, charts the life of a cashier who steals money from the bank and flees to Berlin. The un-named protagonist’s bid to escape his middle-class daily life is ultimately frustrated. It is a popular piece in which Kaiser satirized the cheapness and futility of modern society. His hero, a kind of machineage Everyman, searches everywhere for some kind of fulfillment – in commercial sex, in salvationist religion – but discovers through a series of nightmarish episodes that the world is deceitful and illusory. In the end, disillusioned and pursued by the police, he takes his own life. A new version by Dennis Kelly, to play at the National Theatre in November 2013, as part of the National’s 50th Anniversary Season.

Members of an elite student dining society, the boys are bunkering down for a wild night of debauchery, decadence and bloody good wine. But this isn’t the last huzzah: they’re planning a takeover. Welcome to the Riot Club. ‘Laura Wade’s depiction of wealth and privilege is savagely funny.’ Time Out ‘Disgracefully entertaining.’ The Telegraph ‘Wade’s writing sparkles darkly with insight and wit… Posh’s analysis of the latent violence of class antagonism is satirical, grimly hilarious and richly symbolic – it’s a terrific piece of new writing.’ The Stage Posh premiered at the Royal Court in 2010 before transferring to the West End in 2012. bestseller bestseller APR-10 PB9781840029840 E9781849432948 www.oberonbooks.com bestseller Verbatim and documentary Theatre 1 MAY-99 NOV-11 The Riots Gillian Slovo PB9781849431996 E9781849432979 £9.99 A real-time picture of London’s 2011 riots as they unfolded which analyses what happened, why it happened, and what we should do towards making a better future for ourselves and our city. ‘A taut, illuminating two-hour show… makes you think without making your mind up for you.’ Independent THE COLOUR OF JUSTICE Edited by Richard Norton-Taylor PB9781840021073 E9781849437219 £9.99 A dramatic reconstruction of the hearings into the death of black teenager Stephen Lawrence, which erupted into national outcry. ‘I still rate The Colour of Justice [...] as one of the highlights of my reviewing life.’ Michael Billington, Guardian, 2002 54 APR-07 Called to Account Edited by Richard Norton-Taylor PB9781840027457 E9781849436892 £9.99 m12, f3 Dec-05 SREBRENICA Nicolas Kent PB9781840026276 £9.99 m8, f2 Apr-05 BLOODY SUNDAY Edited by Richard Norton-Taylor PB9781840025682 E9781849437530 £9.99 m12, f5 Nov-03 JUSTIFYING WAR Edited by Richard Norton-Taylor www.oberonbooks.com PB9781840024173 E9781849437370 £9.99 m12, f2 May-04 GUANTANAMO Victoria Brittain & Gillian Slovo PB9781840024746 E9781849435482 £9.99 m15, f1 Sep-10 THE MEANING OF WAITING Victoria Brittain PB9781849430517 £9.99 m1, f8 Jun-11 Tactical Questioning Edited by Richard Norton-Taylor PB9781849430319 E9781849437059 £9.99 m11 Oct-05 GLADIATOR GAMES Tanika Gupta PB9781840026245 £9.99 m4, f1 Apr-05 TALKING TO TERRORISTS Robin Soans PB9781840025620 E9781849435826 £8.99 m5, f3 Sep-07 Jul-12 The Fear of Breathing: Stories from the Syrian Revolution Ruth Sherlock, Paul Wood, Zoe Lafferty Life After Scandal PB9781849434195 E9781849435437 £9.99 m8, f1 PB9781840028058 £8.99 m? f?

Faust: Parts I and II Goethe Translated by Robert David MacDonald PB9781870259118 E9781849437431 £9.99 The power and magic of the Faust story, the man who, in a pact with the Devil, trades his soul in return for a period of total knowledge and absolute power, is one of the most potent of all European myths. Robert David MacDonald’s translation of Faust, used in acclaimed productions in Scotland (Glasgow Citizens) and England (Lyric Hammersmith), offers access to the play in the English language for readers and playgoers alike and opens up the extraordinary range and pace of Goethe’s language, rhythms, imagery and ideas, without sacrificing any of the play’s humour. Set text: Open University Course, ‘From Enlightenment to Romanticism’. bestseller bestseller bestseller APR-88 NOV-10 OCT-87 Racine: Three Plays Racine Translated by Neil Bartlett; Robert David MacDonald Mary Stuart / Joan of Arc Schiller Translated by Robert David MacDonald PB9781840027617 E9781849439176 £14.99 Jean Racine is the greatest tragedian of the French seventeenth century. Britannicus is set in the court of the young Emperor Nero, and in an atmosphere seething with erotic tension, documents the power-struggles surrounding the birth of a legendary despot. Berenice probes the hearts of two lovers as they are torn apart amidst the splendours of Imperial Rome, and in Phedra, a woman betrayed by her own desires descends into a personal hell of shame, guilt and remorse. These classic versions, by two of the country’s most distinguished directortranslators, offer blisteringly effective poetry, urgent plotting and powerhouse roles for both actors and actresses. PB9781870259071 E9781849439954 www.oberonbooks.com 77 £16.99 These two tragedies, written at the peak of Schiller’s career as a dramatist, contain his most telling, and touching, portrayals of women. His heroines are propelled, by birth or a sense of divine mission, into exalted political positions, where their qualities as human beings, and particularly as women, are put to the severest tests, from which they emerge triumphant, but doomed. Schiller’s breadth of sentiment, combined with his consummate stagecraft, and Shakespearean mastery of verse and nobility of language, ensure his position as Germany’s greatest dramatist, and these translations, prepared for, and performed by, Glasgow’s Citizens Theatre, should go far to ensure his long overdue acceptance in Britain as a master of the European Theatre. 78 May-01 aeschylus & sophocles: Suppliants & Ajax Aeschylus & Sophocles;

In a bloody battle outside the city’s gates, the sons of Oedipus fight to the death. King Creon issues an edict: Eteocles, who nobly defended Thebes against his brother and the invading army, is to be buried a hero; the body of his treacherous brother must be left to rot. Antigone and her uncle are locked in conflict. With no burial rites, Antigone knows that her brother Polynices’ soul will be denied passage to the underworld and the gods will be offended. As the new king, Creon cannot ignore her actions – her defiance is a matter of national security. ‘Every line of Donnellan’s version rings out loud and clear…it comes across both as stinging dialectic and as a tragic study in the denial of nature.’ Michael Billington, Guardian PB9781840022605 E9781849435758 BACCHAI £9.99 The religious fraud Tartuffe has wormed his way into the affections and household of rich merchant, Orgon, with pantomime piety and counterfeit zeal. So comprehensively has he hoodwinked Orgon that he looks set to succeed in driving away the son, marrying the daughter, seducing the wife and imprisoning Orgon. ‘Much of the credit for the evening’s success belongs to Bolt’s superb translation.’ Guardian ‘Bolt’s irreverent, colloquial translation, in neat, octosyllabic rhyming couplets, is blessed with a filthy wit.’ Daily Telegraph PB9781840022612 £9.99 Dionysus, the god of wine and theatre has returned to his native land to take revenge on the puritanical Pentheus who refuses to recognise him of his rites. Remorselessly, savagely and with black humour, the god drives Pentheus and all the city to their shocking fate. ‘It draws on the contemporary vernacular to ripping, rollicking, rumbustious effect...and [Teevan] has given us a piece of theatre that is wonderfully robust, resolute and resonant.’ Paul Muldoon This version was specially commissioned by the National Theatre for a production in May 2002, directed by Sir Peter Hall and scored by Sir Harrison Birtwistle. www.oberonbooks.com 81 1 JUL-05 Oct-98 MAY-07 Schiller Version by Peter Oswald Molière Translated by Ranjit Bolt Edmond Rostand Translated by Ranjit Bolt Schiller’s play of 1800 pits Mary Queen of Scots against her rival Elizabeth of England. The meeting never happened, but Goethe claimed ‘It will be good to see those whores alongside each other.’ Schiller’s Mary redeems her youthful crimes through an ordeal that lifts her into the realms of spiritual serenity, while Elizabeth descends deeper into rage, revenge and deception. Molière, undoubtedly one of the greatest writers of comedy in the history of theatre, won enormous success for The School for Wives (L’Ecole des Femmes) in Paris in 1662; yet this highly popular play, satirising ridiculous male attitudes to women, aroused as much hostility as critical acclaim. Arnolphe, a narrowminded merchant hoping to marry his young ward, Agnès, is obsessed with the fear of being made a cuckold. But all his artful plans serve only to speed him towards the fate he is so desperate to avoid. Molière himself first played the hapless merchant, and this believable character in an all too believable predicament both startled and delighted his public. Comic poet and dazzling swordsman, Cyrano is hopelessly in love with Roxane. But Roxane loves the dashing Christian. Cyrano, in a selfless act of love, woos Roxane on Christian’s behalf, writing his love letters, feeding him his lines. Romance. Tragedy. Comedy. Excitement.

Cyrano de Bergerac PB9781840027518 E9781849437394 £9.99 A universal, action-packed love story which has been a popular hit on the stage for over a century and the inspiration for countless films. ‘Thanks to Ranit Bolt’s cracking new verse translation...this rendition of Cyrano is thrilling to listen to, line by line, word by word, and there is no resisting its pace, humour and charm.’ Guardian Sep-11 Aeschylus; Translated by James Kerr Pedro Calderón de la Barca; Translated by Laurence Boswell PROMETHEUS BOUND PB9781840026351 £9.99 m3, f1 +chorus Dec-05 LYSISTRATA Aristophanes; Translated by Ranjit Bolt PB9781840026450 £9.99 m3, f4 +chorus Jul-02 THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO Beaumarchais; Translated by Roger Cogo-Fawcett & Braham Murray PB9781840023770 £9.99 m8, f4 May-10 London Assurance Dion Boucicault; Adapted by Richard Bean PB9781840029994 E9781849438315 £9.99 m10, f3 Oct-05 WOYZECK Georg Büchner; Translated by Gisli Örn Gardarsson PB9781840026412 £11.99 Dec-92 The Painter of Dishonour Pedro Calderón de la Barca; Translated by David Johnston PB9780948230882 £7.99 m11, f5 The Phoenix of Madrid PB9781849431347 E9781849436946 £9.99 m6, f3 Sep-04 PEDRO, THE GREAT PRETENDER Miguel de Cervantes; Translated by Philip Osment PB9781840024432 £9.99 m14, f6 Sep-07 Don Quixote Miguel de Cervantes; Translated by Colin Teevan PB9781840028027 £9.99 Mar-07 THE CHERRY ORCHARD Anton Chekhov; Translated by Pam Gems PB9781840027389 E9781849438704 £9.99 m8, f5 Jan-00 THE SEAGULL Anton Chekhov, Translated by Peter Gill PB9781840021509 £9.99 m7, f6 Dec-96 THE CHERRY ORCHARD Anton Chekhov; Translated by Peter Gill PB9781870259750 £9.99 m8, f5 Sep-02 Nov-08 Anton Chekhov; Translated by David Harrower Euripides; Translated by Alistair Elliot PB9781840023398 £11.99 m8, f6 PB9781840028973 E9781849436540 £9.99 m7, f3 Mar-07 Mar-95 Anton Chekhov; Translated by Bryony Lavery Euripides; Translated by Kenneth McLeish IVANOV UNCLE VANYA PHAETHON After the Trojan War PB9781840027396 £9.99 m5, f4 PB9780948230653 £9.99 Jul-04 IPH...

As increasing numbers of British servicemen and women are seeing active service, Propeller brings its own unique take on one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays.

Written when Shakespeare was at the height of his powers, it dramatizes many different kinds of love, from the idealism of Orsino or the mutual affection of the twins Viola and Sebastian to the broad comedy of Malvolio’s deluded passion for Olivia: a sweet-sad blend of laughter and tears. RICHARD III The Comedy of Errors £9.99 Richard III is the culmination of Shakespeare’s dramatization of the Wars of the Roses which he had begun in his Henry VI trilogy. It also contains his first great theatrical creation: Richard is charming, witty, ironic, terrifying – but he is also the embodiment, in his own personality, of the violence and chaos of the Wars of the Roses. The Comedy of Errors is a brilliant piece of theatrical mechanism, a story of mounting confusion involving two pairs of twins. But it also explores the relations between lovers and between husband and wife, and ends with the warmth and reconciliation of a multiple family reunion.

BALLET BOYZ Michael Nunn and William Trevitt PB9781849430500 £20.00 Michael Nunn and William Trevitt, aka the Ballet Boyz, are pioneers in making modern dance accessible and entertaining through their celebrated stage and television work. They met at the Royal Ballet School and went on to become leading dancers with The Royal Ballet. In 2001 they set up their own company, Ballet Boyz, and established themselves as one of the most original and dynamic partnerships in modern dance: revolutionising programming formats; commissioning new choreography; collaborating with a wide range of cuttingedge talents and building a following through their regular television appearances on the BBC, Channel 4 and Sky Arts. To celebrate 10 years as the Ballet Boyz, Nunn and Trevitt have hand-picked images from their company and personal archives to provide a unique and intimate insight into one of dance’s most prolific, enduring and exciting partnerships. ‘This anniversary book offers a tantalising glimpse into life on the road with the Boyz, its tone firmly celebratory. A must for anyone interested in the art of movement.’ What’s On Stage The book is a lovingly designed retrospective of the last decade of Trevitt and Nunn’s work, but leaves one wanting to know more. Then again, dance is a wordless art form about movement rather than dialogue – and perhaps this is what Trevitt and Nunn are recreating through this book.’ Exeunt Magazine Oct-07 THE STORY OF THE RING Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen Retold by Michael Birkett Illustrated by Elizabeth Bury Foreword by Sir Peter Hall HB9781840027778 HB9781840029383 £25.00 Richard Wagner’s Ring Cycle is one of the most ambitious musical projects ever undertaken.

Janet Suzman has played them all and directed some. Here she examines their complexity and explores why only Cleopatra has an independence that allows her to speak to modern women. None of these, regrettably, matches up to a Hamlet, but as she is grateful for the parts he did write, Suzman feels a lightly-barbed attack on those who doubt Shakespeare’s authorship is way overdue.

Is atheism itself a form of religion, and can there be such a thing as a ‘fundamentalist atheist’? Are we witnessing a global revival in religious zeal, or do the signs point instead to religion’s ultimate decline? In a series of bold, unsparing polemics, A C Grayling tackles these questions head on, exposing the dangerous unreason he sees at the heart of religious faith and highlighting the urgent need we have to reject it in all its forms, without compromise. In its place he argues for a set of values based on reason, reflection and sympathy, taking his cue from the great ethical tradition of Western philosophy.

This series of linked essays by the man who ran the Royal College of Art for many years, explores the crafts in education, in history and literature, in the contemporary arts landscape, in the language, in the digital age, and takes an unsentimental, hard-headed look at craftsmanship today. ‘On Craftsmanship covers impressive ground over its short 144 pages. Christopher Frayling’s inherent knowledge of art and design makes this book a joy to read.’ Manufacture and Industry £12.99 In these four lectures Peter Hall reveals a lifetime of discoveries about classical theatre, Shakespeare, opera and modern drama. The central argument is that form and structured language paradoxically give freedom to power of thought and feeling, much as the masks of early Greek drama enabled actors to express extreme emotion.

He covers a remarkable diversity of theatrical openings and events, many of historical interest and importance, and many more witnessed by Nightingale himself during his 50-year reviewing career. The plays and shows that Nightingale crisply, authoritatively and readably brings alive range from Sheridan’s School for Scandal to Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia, from Gogol’s Government Inspector to the Ian McKellen Macbeth, from Synge’s Playboy of the Western World, which provoked serious riots in the Dublin of 1907, to Lionel Bart’s Twang!! in 1965, possibly the most disastrous musical ever. PB9781849431354 E9781849439411 18.99 Charles Morgan was the dramatic critic of The Times for most of the years between 1922 and 1939. The reviews for this selection are taken from thousands written for The Times and from his weekly articles for the New York Times on the London theatre. Morgan was widely regarded as the most influential critic of his day. His fellow critic, James Agate, wrote ‘When Morgan is on form he has us all beat.’ Though most were written overnight for the following day’s paper, they were given space allowed to no modern critic. Beautifully written, they bring to life many of the great actors and actresses and the dramatists, old and new, as the theatre moved from the frivolous Twenties into the shadow of another war and ‘More a theater lover’s towards the modern theatre journal than a history lesson. of today. As they mirror In capturing the thrill of the development of English seeing a theatrical event, theatrical taste in the inter-war Mr. Nightingale writes like years, they are as much a someone who doesn’t just have a responsibility to his readers delight to read, both witty but also (in an unconventional and erudite, as they are an important historical record. way) to history.’ New York Times Writing ‘Master Class’ is the biography of David Pownall’s play, Master Class (1983), from conception to coming of age. Threaded through the account of the inception and development of the piece are twists of authorial life-story necessary for the telling. Whereas a novel or poem can be kept a secret until it is properly finished, a play has to go out to meet the people early. On the day the script is put into the hands of actors, the soul of the thing passes out of the author’s control. It can be bent, battered, warped – or improved within its being far beyond expectations. As a drama of dictatorship in art and the cleverness needed to evade its worst manifestations, Master Class has been at large for thirty years, produced in twenty countries, in some several times. What has been done to it, how it has fared, is touched upon but the main story in this book is the making of the piece. A fascinating insight into the playwright’s craft.

Established by George Devine as a ‘writers’ theatre’, the Court has consistently provided a platform for the most vital dramatic talents of the day. Illustrated throughout with photographs from the plays, and with documents and rehearsal notes from the original productions, Inside Out considers the most notable productions from the tenure of each successive artistic director since the Court opened, and includes interviews with actors, writers, designers, technicians, and directors themselves. It lays bare the truth about controversies over productions like Look Back in Anger, Saved, Perdition, and Shopping and F**king, the closely fought battles over funding, and remarkable internal struggles between huge and competitive personalities at the heart of the Court.

Through his engaging, observant, often hilarious words, we experience the camaraderie of actors, the terror of forgetting lines, thirty-three broadsword fights and, of course, the ever-present threat of being assaulted by demented badgers. ‘His reflections – on death, the ritual and mystery of theatre, the importance of play – give the book depth, but where it really shines is in his evocation of the organized (and passionate) chaos backstage.’ Times Literary Supplement www.oberonbooks.com £10.99 bestseller bestseller NEW Writing ‘Master Class’ David Pownall PB9781849434782 EB9781849434942 JUN-09 OCT-07 SEP-13 111 1 SOMETHING WRITTEN IN THE STATE OF DENMARK Keith Osborn PB9781840029789 E9781849432818 £14.99 www.oberonbooks.com Following in the footsteps of Nick Asbury’s bestselling Exit Pursued by a Badger, actor and Royal Shakespeare Company blogger Keith Osborn tells the story of the company’s extraordinary 2008/9 season in Stratford and London, with much drama on and off stage.

Clear and practical guidance helps the reader to understand the workings of a play, spot clues that the playwright has planted, imagine how it can be staged, and decide whether it will stand the test of time. Absorbing and informative, whether for purposes of study, staging or simply leisure, it is the ideal guide for students, directors, teachers and anyone who loves the theatre. ‘Because many people find it hard to read plays Unwin has written this book to help them. And it works surprisingly well… A useful book, then, from which I learned a lot.’ The Stage ‘Unwin provides a refresher course in the world’s major dramatic movements but also challenges us to think intelligently and without prejudice about them. Whether you are reading this book as a manual for decoding plays or a primer in theatrical history, it is a wise, erudite and perceptive study.’ Teaching Drama ‘Compelling.’ Times Literary Supplement £15.99 Athol Fugard has done more to document and provide a cultural commentary on Apartheid-era South Africa than any other writer in the last century. Using mostly migrant workers and township dwellers, and staging guerrilla-raid productions in black areas, Fugard frequently came into conflict with the government, forcing him to take his work overseas. Consequently, powerful plays such as The Blood Knot, Sizwe Banzi is Dead, and ‘Master Harold’… and the boys came to broadcast the inequities of the Apartheid-era to the world. Fugard’s work retains an insistent influence, and is studied and performed the world over. Based on a close reading of Fugard’s theatre works from No-Good Friday (1958) to Victory (2007) and supplemented with personal interviews – including with the playwright himself – Alan Shelley’s book is a comprehensive but accessible analysis of Fugard’s work, the personal and political injustices that inform it, and the lives of the people it portrays.

Catching the Light, full of anecdotes and gems of knowledge, is an indispensable read for actors, directors, students and anyone who loves the theatre. ‘Manages to get under the skins of each of his subjects, allowing us to see both the way in which they spark off each other and how this leads to epic theatre of the kind that is only very rarely seen...a happy trip down memory lane but also more, since it promises a bright and exciting future as well.’ British Theatre Guide HB 9781840026948 £30.00 This volume contains fifteen essays on the style, language and vision of one of Britain’s most influential and controversial playwrights, Howard Barker.

In Two Minds is the story of Jonathan Miller – one of post-war Britain’s most intriguing polymaths. He is a controversial humorist, public intellectual and TV personality. As a star in the groundbreaking satirical revue Beyond The Fringe, he shot to fame alongside Peter Cook, Dudley Moore and Alan Bennett. His expertise and interests encompass many areas, from medicine, to the history of art, Mozart, atheism and the nature of laughter. Jonathan Miller is one of the most multi-talented Britons of his generation, celebrated for his dazzling intelligence and anti-establishmentarian wit. This is the first comprehensive biography of him, written by leading arts journalist Kate Bassett (Independent on Sunday). Drawing on in-depth interviews, it is an entertaining and illuminating portrait of a fascinatingly complex man. ‘Gielgud was indiscreet even by the exacting standards of the acting profession… I could hear Sir John’s voice as I read which lent extra poignancy to some of his observations.’ The Sunday Times ‘An admirably thorough job of a biography: sympathetic, deeply researched, informed by long conversations with Miller and dozens of friends, colleagues and, occasionally, enemies.’ The Spectator ‘A glorious celebration of the idiosyncratic but wholly endearing warmth of a unique figure.’ The Stage ‘A remarkable portrait of a complex and Coleridgean figure, a man in two minds about himself for most of his life.’ The Telegraph ‘John Gielgud was not just a great actor: he was also a formidable wit, a brilliant raconteur – and a very naughty boy.’ Simon Callow This delicious feast of ‘Gielgoodies’, compiled by Gielgud’s biographer, reveals a less well-known side to this celebrated man of the theatre: his lightning wit, his love of scandal and gossip, his wicked delight in putting down his fellow-artists, his relish of bawdy humour. Full of startling new material, the book also celebrates the man who dropped a thousand bricks. Gielgud’s excruciating gaffes were legendary, and here are both the famous and the unknown, collected in all their glory. www.oberonbooks.com NOV-12 ‘What a lovely idea, and such fun to dip into…a wonderful theatrical stocking filler for Christmas.’ Dame Eileen Atkins ‘Truly delightful Gielgud stories. Laugh out loud and glorious!’ Derek Jacobi ‘absorbing, in-depth and erudite…’ Observer THE LIFE IN MY YEARS Virginia McKenna HB9781840028980 £25.00 ‘Takes you as close to Rattigan as you are likely to get.’ Sunday Telegraph bestseller Virginia McKenna starred in some of the most popular and enduring movies of our time, most notably Born Free alongside her husband, Bill Travers. The film’s powerful message inspired them to start a worldwide campaign to save animals from ‘imprisonment’ in zoos and from loss of their natural habitat. A lifetime of memories and anecdotes have flooded back to form this book, which will inspire anyone who cares about the future of the planet and the creatures dependent on it. JUL-01 bestseller The Selected Letters of Tennessee Williams: Volume One 1920 – 1945 Tennessee Williams; Edited by Albert J. Devlin and Nancy M. Tischler HB9781840022261 Nov-09 TERENCE RATTIGAN: A BIOGRAPHY Geoffrey Wansell PB9781840028386 E9781849432672 £30.00 19.99 Tennessee Williams blazed onto the world stage after World War II with powerful dramas like A Streetcar Named Desire, Sweet Bird of Youth, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Night of the Iguana, all plays which reached mass audiences in star-studded film versions. No other modern playwright has achieved such worldwide popularity. Few other playwrights have such a grasp of what passions and fears lie trapped in the ordinary human heart. The Selected Letters lift the lid on the private workings of Williams’ mind and reveal an eye for precise detail and dramatic structure. The letters chronicle the Williams family drama and follow “Tom” through a painful return to St Louis and later attendance at three midwestern universities until, in 1939, he assumes his famous persona, ‘Tennessee’, and begins a transforming life on the road. The Selected Letters culminate in 1945 with his first Broadway success, The Glass Menagerie. Williams writes here with piety, wit and astute self-knowledge. These 330 letters, collected by two leading American Williams scholars, are presented with commentary as well as sketches and photographs, forming a virtual autobiography of the great American dramatist. ‘Tennessee was a splendidly indiscreet letter-writer, and as we watch the young T.L. Williams metamorphose into Tennessee Williams in these pages, it becomes clear that his is the most distinctive, humorous, American voice since Mark Twain.’ Gore Vidal 121 www.oberonbooks.com bestseller Mar-09 As the author of ‘well-made’ plays such as The Winslow Boy and The Browning Version, Terence Rattigan was Britain’s most successful and popular playwright for many years. Occasionally dismissed as an entertainer of the middle classes, Rattigan is revealed in this far-reaching and fascinating biography – the first since his death in 1977 – as possessing a far deeper and darker nature than many supposed. 1 bestseller 122 Nov-09 www.oberonbooks.com ‘It becomes a classic story, rather like an Arnold Bennett novel, of an outsider who, through talent, energy and doggedness, fights his way to the inside…an unusually honest book.’ Michael Billington £25.99 Extending the author’s correspondence from 1945 – 1957, a time of intense creativity in his life, Volume II of The Selected Letters of Tennessee Williams covers the production of six major plays, including A Streetcar Named Desire, The Rose Tattoo, Camino Real, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Following the immense success of Streetcar, Williams struggles to retain his prominence with a prodigious outpouring of stories, poetry and novels as well as plays. Several major film projects, especially the notorious Baby Doll, bring Williams and his collaborator Elia Kazan into contact with powerful agencies of censorship, exposing both the conservative landscape of the 1950s and Williams’ own studied resistance to the forces of conformity. ‘Anyone who knew ‘Compulsive stuff for anyone interested in the subsidised theatre of the last three decades... his insights, off stage as well as on, are still much needed.’ Independent bestseller PB9781840022278 ‘These letters are shockingly readable. They offer real insight into Tennessee Williams’s creative struggles and inner demons but also into his fierce idealism and Southern humour. You end up loving the man as well as the writer.’ Michael Billington his own acclaimed theatre company. bestseller The Selected Letters of Tennessee Williams: Volume Two 1945 – 1957 Tennessee Williams; Edited by Albert J. Devlin and Nancy M. Tischler Tennessee Williams will recognise in these letters his living human voice: about his friends, his loves, his hates and, above all, his work.

Betraying his reputation as theatre’s ‘perennial outsider’, Ambivalences finds Wesker in generous and engaging form, offering a rich and unique insight into the mind of one of the key figures in 20th-century drama. ‘Ambivalences is fascinating… there is plenty here for students of late 20th-century drama and/or those who want to write plays.’ The Stage ‘A fascinating and illuminating account of a great dramatist in search of his identity.’ Sir John Mortimer bestseller bestseller Sep-08 MEMORIES Elaine Paige; Foreword by Andrew Lloyd Webber PB9781840028522 Oct-99 Edward Albee: A Singular Journey Mel Gussow PB9781840021318 £18.99 In 1960, American playwright Edward Albee electrified the theatre world with The Zoo Story, and followed it two years later with the extraordinary Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?.
