  Never So Good (NHB Modern Plays)

  A fascinating portrait of Harold Macmillan in an epic play about the decline of British fortunes in the middle of the twentieth century.
  Set against a back-drop of fading Empire, war, the Suez crisis, vintage champagne, adultery and vicious Tory politics at the Ritz, Never So Good paints the portrait of a brilliant, witty but complex man, at times comically and, in the end, tragically out of kilter with his times.
  Harold Macmillan, the Eton-educated idealist who rushed, with Homer's Iliad under his arm, to do his duty in the Grenadier Guards, is tormented by the harsh experiences of war and an unhappy marriage. His career in the 1930s is blocked by his loyalty to Winston Churchill, and he nearly loses his life in the Second World War. When at last he becomes Prime Minister he is brought down by the Profumo scandal.
  'gripping, compassionate and often delightfully comic... his finest achievement to date' - Telegraph

  Helen Edmundson's gripping play tells the little-known story of a monarch caught between friendship and duty.
  1702. William III is on the throne and England is on the verge of war.
  Princess Anne is soon to become Queen, and her advisors vie for influence over the future monarch. Who can Anne turn to when even her most trusted friends seem bent on pursuing power?
  Contending with deceit and blackmail, Anne must decide where her allegiances lie, and whether to sacrifice her closest relationships for the sake of the country.
  Commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, Queen Anne premiered at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in November 2015, and was revived at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, London, in 2017.
  'Fascinating... Edmundson is particularly good on the intricacies of court politics... it is invigorating to see a play that shows women exercising power'- Guardian
  'enthralling... provides two absolutely terrific female roles'- WhatsOnStage
  'a richly textured, modern history play... a truly compelling drama'- The Stage
