5.0 out of 5 stars Bonkers, ...Sixties masterpieces, 9 July 2000

dougalbug79@yahoo.co.uk (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Plays: "The Unseen Hand", "Chicago", "Icarus's Mother", "Red Cross", "Cowboys", "Operation Sidewinder", "Killer's Head" Vol 1 (Methuen Contemporary Dramatists) (Paperback)

These plays are without doubt the strangest you will read without venturing into Beckett. et al. Although the messages behind many have dated - Chicago and The Unseen Hand are both allegories of Cold-War America - these are still fascinating, genre defying works which stretch the definition of what theatre can be to the limit. Indispenible for the student of 20th century drama.
