Description

Masterpieces opens with a dinner conversation between three couples, exchanging sexist jokes. This scene sets the tone for Rowena's journey, which spans from her first encounter with pornography to a thwarted attempt to help an unhappy prostitute.

The play follows Rowena as she grapples with female subjugation and radical protest against it. It is a story of transformation, from uncomfortable laughter to disgust and ultimately, defiance.

First staged in 1983 at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, before transferring to the Royal Court Theatre, London, Masterpieces has earned recognition for its powerful portrayal of female experience. This edition introduces Sarah Daniels into the Modern Classics series, featuring an introduction by Elaine Aston, Professor of Contemporary Performance at Lancaster University.
