Four Plays
by John Osborne
Highlights
What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about this collection of plays. While some appreciate the historical context of Osborne's work, others find the plays disappointing and lacking in the quality of his more famous pieces.
Synopsis
Includes the plays A Sense of Detachment, The End of Me Old Cigar, Jill and Jack and A Place Calling Itself Rome
Osborne here delivers his trademark eloquence, rage and devastating wit.
A Sense of Detachment satirises our heartless, profiteering society, while defending timeless human values.
The End of Me Old Cigar examines the decadent lives of a collection of leading media figures.
The television play Jill and Jack is a comic gem that satirises the conventions of its own genre while also being a close study of sexual warfare
A Place Calling Itself Rome is a powerful reworking of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus.
