What readers are saying

Readers appreciate the sharp satire and exploration of social issues in the play. Many find the portrayal of marital dysfunction and societal anxieties both thought-provoking and humorous. The dialogue effectively captures the absurdity of the upper-class perspective on race and identity.

Synopsis

Author: A.R. Gurney, Jr. Publisher: Samuel French; 1968 Paperback This book is in new condition however the front cover has a pen mark and shows some shelf life.

This book was obviously first opened when I took the pictures.

All the books for sale in my store were stored for years originally from a huge, distinguished lawyer's library.

Shipping from Vermont, I do my best to ship w/in 24 hours of purchase.

Thank you
