Synopsis

A poignantly funny drama from the author of My Night With Reg.
In the 60s, Horace, Jerry and Judy were teenagers. They were into drink, drugs, Hendrix, The Hobbit and, of course, each other. Thirty years later, Jerry is dead, Judy is in love and the gay-but-hesitant Horace is unable to get on with his life - until he receives a surprise visitor.
'Even funnier and more touching than Elyot's 'My Night with Reg'... a most appealing play' - The Times
'Elyot once more shows himself capable of transcending the ghettoising definition of the gay play... Through the experience of the lonely, hesitant, life-fearing Horace, he touches poignantly on a universal theme: the way we cling, in desperation to some golden moment in the past as a protection against the uncertain present' - Guardian
Disponible depuis: 03/04/2015.
Longueur d'impression: 96 pages.

    A witty, topical and passionate play about generations, secrets, and the stories we tell about our lives.
Kristin Miller is a firebrand matriarch and eminent art historian. Her birthday gathering should be a cause for celebration, but the recent publication of her memoir has exposed cracks in her family relationships. As the evening progresses, questions arise about the sacrifices she has made and about the price paid by those nearest to her.
Alexi Kaye Campbell's play Apologia was originally produced at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2009. This edition was published alongside the play's revival at the Trafalgar Studios, London, in 2017, directed by Jamie Lloyd and starring Stockard Channing as Kristin.

Classic films now become audiobooks with many featuring the original stars from way back when. Here's The Champ starring Wallace Beery.
