Red Plush & Trombones

Includes the plays Rattle Mother Adam and StaircaseSir Harold Hobson (Sunday Times) coined the phrase The Lonely Trilogy to include Rattle (Garrick Theatre 1962-3) Mother Adam (Arts Theatre 1971) and Staircase (RSC 1966-67) plays which have been in constant production throughout the years. Of the middle duologue Hobson wrote: In Mother Adam Dyer has written one of the few real tragedies of our time... It is more disturbing; it has deeper resonances; it is more beautifully written with an imagination at once exotic and desperately familiar; it has a profounder pity and a more exquisite falling Close.The eminent American journalist Walter Winchell wrote of Dyers Profound thoughts and emotions expressed with humour... People in the shadows discovering sunshine in each other.
