Spanning almost ten years and embracing a remarkable range of style and subject matter, this third volume of Churchill's Collected Plays, introduced by the author, contains: Icecream - an unsettling look at British attitudes to America, and vice versa; Mad Forest - Churchill's response to the Romanian Revolution; The Skriker - a 'spellbinding' piece combining English folk tales with modern urban life; Thyestes - a 'bleakly eloquent new translation of Seneca's Roman tragedy' (Sunday Times). Plus two collaborative pieces combining word and dance: Lives of the Great Poisoners - a libretto to music by Orlando Gough and choreography by Ian Spink; A Mouthful of Birds - written with David Lan.
