Synopsis

Steven Berkoff is a phenomenon.

Among the artists working in the theatre today he is probably the most theatrical - his special combination of speech, movement and spectacle is uniquely powerful.

This first collection of his plays includes East, described by Berkoff as 'an outburst or revolt against the sloth of my youth and a desire to turn a welter of undirected passion and frustration into a positive form'.

Also included in this collection are the plays West and Sink the Belgrano!
