Plays 2: Vampire / The Glad Hand / The Grass Widow / Sabina

by Snoo Wilson

A second collection of plays from one of Britain's most original dramatists

This second volume of plays includes Vampire: 'The height of comedy, a manic, hellzapoppin of invention, sliding from verbal frolics to pure slapstick' (The Times); The Glad Hand: 'A full-blooded theatrical experience which is also - praise be - good fun to watch. Its energetic, imaginative nonsense spills out ideas, situations, crises, comedy and political harangue in a fire-work display of non-sequitur, whiz-bang high spirits' (Sunday Telegraph); The Grass Widow: 'Hilariously confirms that Mr Wilson is the liveliest and most enlivening English dramatists of his generation' (Sunday Telegraph); Sabina: A typically surreal and unrestrained work … wonderfully theatrical.' (Tribune)

"Snoo Wilson tackles dark pockets of human endeavour with an original wit and a savage humour" (Financial Times).
