Description
Doris Lessing's Play with a Tiger and Other Plays is a collection of three acclaimed works for the stage, written between the 1950s and 1970s. These plays reflect the social and political concerns of their time, showcasing Lessing's characteristic passion and incisiveness.
The three plays are united by their exploration of human relationships and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. 'Play with a Tiger' follows the fortunes of two individuals, Anna and Dave, as they navigate the emerging post-war classless society. In contrast, 'The Singing Door', written for children, is a highly experimental play that uses allegory to explore power games. Meanwhile, 'Each His Own Wilderness' tells the story of Myra, who has fought tirelessly for the socialist ideal, only to confront the reality that her son's indifference may be a harsh truth.
