Edgar Plays Two

<p><b>David Edgar like Balzac seems to be the secretary for our times. - <i>The Guardian</i><br></b><br>This selection of David Edgar's dramatic work features three plays: <i>Ecclesiastes</i> a late 1970s radio play; his acclaimed stage version of <i>Nicholas Nickleby</i>; and <i>Entertaining Strangers</i> an English left-wing social drama. <p/><i>Ecclesiastes</i> is a radio play that looks at the rise and fall of a fundamentalist Christian clergyman in the US. <p/><i>Nicholas Nickleby</i>: With uncommon audacity <i>Nicholas Nickleby</i> not only takes on Dickens' sprawling novel it fractures all the petty limitations we have imposed upon the stage as well ... A landmark. - <i>New Statesman</i> <p/>In <i>Entertaining Strangers</i> a community constructs a nativity play: English left-wing social drama at its sturdiest and finest: human argumentative utterly unafraid of human realities and seething with indignation and compassion. - <i>The Sunday Times</i></p>
