Trelawny of the "Wells" and Other Plays (Oxford World's Classics) [Paperback]

Arthur Wing Pinero (Author), J. S. Bratton (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 13, 1995 | Series: Oxford World's Classics

Pinero was a master of stagecraft, a playwright who forever changed the face of British theatre. Collected here are four of his greatest works including The Second Mrs. Tanqueray, a play acclaimed across Europe as the most remarkable English play of the late nineteenth century; The Magistrate, now recognized and the cornerstone of British comedy; Trelawny of the "Wells", a play which enjoyed a hugely successful revival in London recently; and The Schoolmistress. These plays represent a unique dramatic voice, stringent and incisive, and offer insights clothed in exuberant, energetic, and many-sided theatricality.
