In this new comedy of sex and politics, an anxious group of relations and dependants struggle for supremacy in a garden in the north of England. Toby, a sprightly 91-year-old, wants to keep young by buying and tending a part of the big garden next door. Gerald is trying to bed as many attractive women as possible in between buying up small shops in South East Asia to turn into supermarkets. Daniel struggles to get past chapter two of the book he's writing, whilst Roderick watches helplessly as his wife sets her sights on lecherous Gerald. The whole mixed bag seem to seek reassurance that they mean something - if only they could think what it is... Summer Again opened at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond in October 2004.

In the 1970s the revolution that had swept the British theatre in the 1950s had already become accepted as the new establishment. Areas that had been previously regarded as remote ideals - including permanent repertory companies, a lively provincial theatre and an extensive spread of avant-garde and fringe theatrical activities - were now considered commonplace. In this title, first published in 1971, John Russell Taylor assesses the prospects of the British theatre at the start of the 1970s and indicates its points of weakness and its strengths. In this context are placed the key figures among the Second Wave of dramatists, and detailed critical commentaries on the work of writers such as David Mercer, Tom Stoppard and Peter Terson. This is an indispensable introduction for any student with an interest in the history and development of the British theatre and the people who have played instrumental roles in this.

The year 1956 marked a point when British drama and theater fell into the hands of a group of young playwrights who revolutionized the stage. During that time, playwrights such as Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter made the British theater as rich, varied, and vital as any national theater in history. This reference chronicles the history of British theater from 1956 to 1995 by providing detailed information about the playwrights of that period. Included are entries for some three dozen British playwrights active between 1956 and 1995. Entries are arranged alphabetically to facilitate use. Each entry supplies biographical information, the production history for particular plays, a survey of the playwright's critical reception, an assessment of the dramatist's work, and primary and secondary bibliographies. A selected, general bibliography at the end of the volume directs the reader to important sources of additional information about this period in theater history.
