Description
Harvey Plays: A Collection of Three Plays. Jonathan Harvey's most popular plays are collected in this single volume for the first time. The collection includes Beautiful Thing, Babies, and The Rupert Street Lonely Hearts Club. These plays showcase Harvey's unique voice and perspective, offering a glimpse into the lives of those living on the fringes of society. Beautiful Thing is a bittersweet tale of life in a Thamesmead housing estate, while Babies is based on the playwright's experiences as a teacher and features a memorable drag queen performance. The Rupert Street Lonely Hearts Club explores the lives of Soho's low-life, centring on a man who struggles to come to terms with his age and attractiveness. This collection provides a unique insight into the world of contemporary theatre, offering a fresh perspective on the human experience.
