late Maureen Dunbar, unseen extra scenes and a reflection by Mark,
on the astonishing journey of this widely studied play since its
first performances, including one by OYT on the Olivier Stage of
the Royal National Theatre. Suitable for: Key Stage 3/4, BTEC, GCSE

reaches moments of almost unbearable intensity... naturalistic
scenes flow seamlessly into sequences of highly stylised theatre...
such potent theatre!" Vera Lustig, The Independent "Elegantly
structured, highly informative, and imaginatively theatrical. There
wasn't a dry eye in the house." Anne McFerran, Stage and Television
