Tom Stoppard's Plays

London England: Faber & Faber, 1982. Paperback. Slight wear to cover. Couple of creases to corner back. In this close look at the published plays of Tom Stoppard, Jim Hunter avoids the serial or chronological approach by looking at the qualities and effects which inform the playwright's work as a whole. Individual chapters have such titles as 'Playing', 'Staging', 'Laughing' or 'Caring', and are preceded by a biological summary and followed by a study guide which enables the reader to select the treatment of an individual play and provides other reference material. The book is meant for performers, directors and audiences as well as for student; readers in general will be reminded vividly of the pleasure to be had from the intelligence, humour and theatricality of the plays from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead to On the Razzle - a pleasure which even at its most serious always includes an element of laughter. 258 pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . 1st Paperback Edition.
