The first collection of plays by one of Britain's most original
dramatists
This first volume of Snoo Wilson's plays contains a mixture of his
best early work from the 1970s and more recent efforts. Long
considered to be a legend of Fringe theatre, Snoo Wilson's early
plays had such absurd titles as Girl Mad as Pigs and Ella
Daybellfesse's Machine. All of Wilson's plays search out strange
psychological states in his characters and situations. Blowjob is a
dark study in alienation and violence; in Pigsnight a Lincolnshire
farm is taken by a sinister gang and turned into a machine for the
organised butchering of animals. The Soul of the White Ant explores
the weird world of the South African naturalist Eugene Marais whose
ideas about a corporate soul lead to insanity. The volume also
includes two plays with a Freudian perspective: More Light and
Darwin's Flood. The volume includes an introduction by the author
and notes by his various collaborators.
"Snoo Wilson tackles dark pockets of human endeavour with an
original wit and a savage humour" (Financial Times).
