Description
The Wesker Trilogy: A Monument to Its Era This first volume of Arnold Wesker's Collected Plays brings together three plays that premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in the 1960s. Set against the backdrop of three wars - the Spanish Civil, the Second World War, and the Cold War - these plays explore how huge disturbances impact a Jewish working-class household, altering their lives forever. Wesker's writing masterfully balances international and domestic perspectives, bringing together gigantic events and ordinary people in a sharp focus. His passion for the theme is matched by the living fire in his writing, which remains undiminished with time. A powerful exploration of identity, community, and the human experience, The Wesker Trilogy is a significant work that will appeal to those interested in British and Irish drama.
