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.
