The Pig Trade, Japes Too, Michael, The Holy Terror The Pig Trade is
set in 1937 in the Villa of I Tatti outsider Florence where, under
the menacing shadow of Mussolini, a famous art historian and a
notorious art dealer have an explosive final encounter. Japes Too
and Michael are companion plays, in which the love of two brothers
for one woman both highlights and obscures their dependency on each
other but where fate and tragedy strike differently. Simon Gray's
play Melon, which follows a publisher into his nervous breakdown
and out again, enjoyed great success in the West End but,
dissatisfied with the work, Gray revised it so thoroughly that a
new play with the same central character emerged, entitled The Holy
Terror. This volume also contains a brief chronicle by the author
on the gestation of his work and the impossibility of writing.
'Simon Gray is actually one of the most accessible, elegant and
tender of contemporary writers. He is also, both on stage and on
the printed page, laugh-out-loud funny.' Charles Spencer, Daily
Telegraph 'Gray's plays, funny and sad, have a savage honesty at
their heart.' Mail on Sunday
