Product Description

Product Description

A play by one of Britain's best-selling writers Bazaar and Rummage brings together a neurotic do-gooder, a trainee social worker and three agoraphobics who have been persuaded to venture out of their homes to run a jumble sale. "As a study of agoraphobia, Bazaar and Rummage is written with great verve, style and wit." (Benedict Nightingale); Set in an adult literacy class where the student's fear of ignorance is as much of a handicap as their inability to read, Groping for Words is a "close up of the social scrap-heap, written in a fine vein of comic indignation and giving a voice to people whose lives are mainly spent in queues and waiting rooms." (Irving Wardle, The Times); Womberang shows free spirit Rita Onions bringing joy and anarchy to the grim waiting-room of a gynaecology clinic. "A daydream of mastered fear" (New Society)

3.0 out of 5 stars A dream come true for all anarchists, 19 Nov 2001
This review is from: The Queen and I (Hardcover)
It actually happens, the referendum party gets voted in and the Royal Family gets booted to live on a council estate called, 'Hellabore Close'.

Laugh at this heart-warming tale as the Queen and her family are forced to cope with the perils of everyday life.

A good book although not typical Townsend - you should definitely read this book - whoever you are - I don't know a single person who didn't like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant early work from a much loved author, 10 Nov 2005
By A Customer
If you only found out about Sue Townsend via the Adrian Mole books then you'll find this collection refreshing and very much ahead of its time. Her writing style is very much honed even with these early works. Bazaar and Rummage is about several women suffering agoraphobia who are at a jumble sale. Not a cheery subject but it had me howling with laughter. The characters in all the plays are instantly recognisable and lifelike. Good for a Saturday afternoon read with your feet up and a supply of tea at hand.
