The scripts for all three fantastic plays., 1 Jan 2001
By MLPlayfair - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Norman Conquests: A Trilogy of Plays (An Evergreen book) (Paperback)
In the late 1970s PBS presented a hilarious trilogy of plays called "The Norman Conquests." I've been trying ever since to find them again. And here they are! This volume contains the scripts for all three of these amazing plays. Their premise: Norman is a real charmer who seduces (not necessarily sexually) everybody he meets. Each of the three plays takes place on a different stage. It's the same story and the same six characters, but seen from what happens only in each room in each play. It's an amazing accomplishment for a writer. This book carries an introduction by Ayckbourn that explains how he did it. And he says the plays are meant to be seen in any order. But I prefer the order given here: "Table Manners" (in the dining room), "Living Together" (the sitting room) and "Round and Round the Garden." If you haven't experienced it, the videos are available now (finally!), as well. The production (the same I saw on PBS) stars Tom Conti as an unforgettable Norman.

Acute social observation. Highly comical., 27 April 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Norman Conquests: A Trilogy of Plays (An Evergreen book) (Paperback)
Terrific work (again!) from this major British playwright showing a disasterous family weekend where a would be Casanova sets his sights on his sister in law and the whole family ultimately become involved. Although written and set in the mid 1970s it remains just as funny (if not more so) now. All of the characters are classics and there are a feast of one liners. It really needs a stage production to be done justice though.

Laughing out loud, 19 Aug 2011

This review is from: The Norman Conquests: A Trilogy of Plays (An Evergreen book) (Paperback)
Wonderfully written. Classic British humor. Ayckbourn's character development is "spot on!" I was literally laughing out loud on the subway reading this trilogy of plays. Highly recommend.
Listmania!
