The first collection of plays by one of Britain's most acclaimed
contemporary playwrights THE ACCRINGTON PALS The young men of a
Lancashire mill town leave their homes and lovers for the trenches
of the Somme. A moving and often comic evocation of the suffering
of the women they left behind. THE HERBAL BED Stratford-upon-Avon

the brink of ruin, and contemplates his escape from England before
the inevitable and mysterious bar-room brawl that will end his life
on 30 May 1593." I can't call to mind any male playwright since
