  Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price
  Maxim Gorky's magnificent response to Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, written in 1904, the year Chekhov died.
  Summerfolk is a play about the Russian bourgeois social class and the changes occurring around them in the middle of the first decade of the twentieth century. It is set in a world of 'false hopes and unfulfilled promises', where dachas have been subdivided into summer colonies and the newly rich idle away their time in unhappy romantic alliances. Gorky's characters are still dreaming of a better life, but they are increasingly aware of impending revolution.
  Gorky's play premiered in November 1904 at the Komissarzhevskaya Theatre in Saint Petersburg.
  This English version, in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series, is translated and introduced by Stephen Mulrine.

  It's 1975. The Millgarth Incident Room in Leeds is the epicentre of the biggest manhunt in British history, for one of the most notorious serial killers: the Yorkshire Ripper.
  With public and political pressure mounting, hundreds of officers must work around the clock and resort to increasingly audacious attempts to end one man's campaign of terror.
  Olivia Hirst and David Byrne's 'beautifully crafted' (Guardian) play goes behind the scenes to investigate the case that nearly broke the British police force.
  The Incident Room was first performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2019, transferring to New Diorama Theatre, London, in 2020, ahead of an Off-Broadway run.
  'The ingenuity of this piece is that it gives you a pacey, clock-ticking sense of what things were like' - Telegraph
  'Tense and chilling' - Daily Mail
  'Completely compelling to watch… intelligent, imaginative and, most of all, damn interesting' - The Stage
