Description
Alfred Fagon's Selected Plays brings together his lesser-known works for the first time in one volume. This collection expands his legacy and confirms his place as a key figure in British theatre of the 20th century. Originally an actor, Fagon turned to writing for stage, film, and television in the early 1970s. His breakthrough play, The Death of A Black Man, was produced at the Hampstead Theatre in 1975. This anthology includes some of his shorter works, alongside a critical introduction from Dawn Walton OBE and a reflection from a former winner of the Alfred Fagon award, Juliet Gilkes Romero. The plays included in this volume are: A Day in the Bristol Air Raid Shelter, Adventure Inside, Thirteen, Four Hundred Pounds, No Soldiers in St Paul's, Shakespeare Country, Small World Weekend, Lovers.
