Synopsis
Storey Plays 1 - The Contractor & Home & Stages & Caring
Published by Methuen
Home - "... about the solitude and dislocation of madness and ... the decline of Britain itself ... part of the play's appeal is that Storey leaves it to us to draw our own conclusions ... a play that contains within itself the still, sad music of humanity" - Guardian
Stages - "...an elegy for lost times and places, an obituary that has been free-associated by the corpse-to-be ... Storey once said that a play 'lives almost in the measure that it escapes and refuses definition'. He has always been a writer who hints rather than states, let alone hectors." - The Times
Caring, a companion piece to Stages, reflects a reassessment and renegotiation of the conflict between life and art
"David Storey is a writer who genuinely extends the territory of drama" - Guardian
