For the first time, Bryony Lavery's plays back in print in one
volume Includes the plays Her Aching Heart, Nothing Compares to
You, The Two Marias and Origin of the Species. Her Aching Heart is
"a deliciously irreverent parody of the historical romance, better
known as the bonk-buster...Georgette Heyer never wrote anything
quite like it, however and Barbara Cartland would be more than
confused by this lesbian romance...hilarious" (Guardian); Nothing
Compares to You is an evocation of a woman experiencing the loss of
a loved one in the aftermath of a car accident "The characters may
be touched by death but laughter is never far away...A haunting
show of hidden depth" (Birmingham Post); "In Bryony Lavery's quirky
Origin of the Species, an ardent archaeologist digging for
prehistoric man finds instead a four-million-year old woman...a
telling allegory of the loss of innocence...Lavery's wit and
imagination are unquestionably present." (Obersver)Introduced by
the author, Bryony Lavery's last play Goliath (adapted from Bea
Campbell's book) was a hit at the Bush Theatre in 1997. Bryony
Lavery is one of Britain's foremost female playwrights.
