Simon Gray New Paperback
Postscript summary
Simon Gray’s talent for adding a witty, intellectual strand to plays that had popular appeal comes to the fore in this collection of eight scripts, including the 1975 ‘Otherwise Engaged’, with its initially charming lead character Simon Hench gradually transformed by the demands of a string of visitors, and its 1996 sequel ‘Simply Disconnected’.
Product information
Full publisher description
'A superbly written play, a funny play, an agonising play. It is, moreover, a play of truth and insight. A play to savour.'
Punch on Otherwise Engaged
'Life in the theatre hasn't brought me anything more rewarding than directing Simon Gray's plays.'
Harold Pinter
Plaintiffs and Defendants
Exceptionally good... the play gave such a rending picture of married mess that it was hard to know where to look.' Clive James, Observer
'Simon Gray is the one [TV playwright] whose work I most relish seeing for his acerbic wit, wonderful ironies and above all for his care with our mother tongue.' Dennis Potter
