Red titles not faded. ***136 pages. 206 mm x 126 mm. ***'When John Osborne's two "Plays for England" were produced at the Royal Court Theatre in 1962 they caused a sensation. The Blood of the Bambergs, a satire on the royal wedding and on the whole mystique of modern royalty, was - for many people - outrageous enough. But it was Under Plain Cover which created the greater stir. "Mr. Osborne's courage," wrote Kenneth Tynan in the Observer, "is doubly flabbergasting: not only does he state the facts about a sado-masochistic menage, he also refrains from condemning it.' And in the Sunday Times Harold Hobson was equally forthright: "Under Plain Cover stuns and shocks. For the first time it brings Genet into England." ***The Plays for England are further evidence - if such evidence were needed - of Mr. Osborne's brilliance and originality.' (Quotes from inside front of jacket blurb). ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
