Product Description

Book Description
'Why Bournemouth?' satirizes the world of suburbia and has a
lot to say about British Railways, attitudes of parents and people we all
recognize. It is irreverent, wicked but above all extremely funny.

'An Apple A Day' seems to continue from John Antrobus's previous
anti-doctor play 'You'll Come To Love Sperm Test', but in fact it debunks
the professional classes generally. It also has lot to say about the class
war.

'The Missing Links' has only two characters, two men who are decorating a
house. In its examination of what the house is about and the implicit
marriage that is to follow, Mr Antrobus gets many other points about modern
life off his chest.

These plays are almost as delightful to read as to see, and anyone who has
enjoyed these plays on either stage or TV will get many more chuckles as
they savour the printed text.

About the Author
John Antrobus is a very English phenomenon, an ex-Sandhurst army
officer who has become one of the most scathing critics of the
Establishment with satires that are as wickedly funny as they are
ferocious. And yet, John Antrobus manages to infuse the most benign good
humour into his plays which are always highly entertaining, fast moving,
leaving the audience breathless with the agility with which he transforms
situations, takes off the absurdity of life and deflates the pompous. All
these plays are tours de force where words become the active principle that
pushes on the action of the play. Antrobus uses the Crazy Gang brand of
surrealism to make a loose, fluid type of theatre that will remind some of
Ionesco, others of the Goon Show but which always has the author's own
special polish.
