`It is a pleasure to read. Well-written, free of cant, impressively
wide-ranging. The book is really an introduction to the
avant-garde.' - John Lahr
This wonderful show is a dramatization of business letters between
a young struggling writer in New York and an antiquarian book store
in London. In a sense, these are also love letters. They are about
the love of good literature. The play takes place over a twenty
year period, beginning in 1949 when Helene Hanff (played on
Broadway by Ellen Burstyn) first writes Marks & Co. and ends in
1969 with the death of Frank Doel, the delightfully dusty supplier
of so many old volumes to Helen who has shown her gratitude through
the years by sending "care packages" to the staff of Marks &
Co.
`It is a pleasure to read. Well-written, free of cant, impressively wide-ranging. The book is really an introduction to the avant-garde.' - John Lahr
Poet Laurie Lee was born in 1914 in a small Cotswold village and
grew up during a time of change when the rural traditions of past
centuries were being swept aside in the path of twentieth-century
progress. His autobiography Cider with Rosie, a poetic evocation of
his childhood, has become a modern classic both in the United
Kingdom and in America and is here imaginatively adapted for the
stage by James Roose-Evans.4 women, 5 men
This touching diary reveals a year in the life of the author James
Roose-Evans. Older is a vivid and illuminating portrait of growing
old. This 'thought diary' was written through James Roose-Evans's
ninety-first year. The result is a cornucopia of delights that
touches on everything from the profound to the minutiae of daily
life. Throughout Roose-Evans writes with wit, sensitivity and an
eye for detail - and his reflections will teach us much about how
we should approach the process of ageing.
