Fagon Alfred - Alfred Fagon Selected Plays - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Despite the legacy of his eponymous award Alfred Fagon's stage works have often been forgotten due to them not being available. This anthology of selected plays brings together his shorter works for the first time into one volume that expands his legacy and confirms his place as one of Britain's key writing talents of the twentieth century. Originally an actor Fagon's writing for the stage film and television grew throughout the early 1970s before his breakaway hit The Death of A Black Man was produced at the Hampstead Theatre in 1975. Now one of British theatre's most well - known names Fagon's legacy is secured due in no small part to the commemorative award in his honour that was established following his death in 1986, to recognise Black British playwrights from the Caribbean resident in the United Kingdom. Brought together with a critical introduction from Dawn Walton OBE this collection also includes a reflection and response from a former winner of the Alfred Fagon award Juliet Gilkes Romero. The plays include: A Day in the Bristol Air Raid Shelter Adventure Inside Thirteen Four Hundred Pounds No Soldiers in St Paul's Shakespeare Country Small World Weekend Lovers
