Two Early Plays by John Osborne
Before Anger
edited by Jamie Andrews
Two never-before-published early plays by one of the most influential British playwrights of the last century, offering an insight into how his craft developed
The Devil Inside Him - written in 1950 and first produced at Huddersfield is a melodrama with a poetic edge about a Welsh boarding house, lorded over by a self-righteous, religious bigot of a father; the lead character is his son, an imaginative teenager widely regarded as “daft” by the neighbours and as immoral by his father. These perceptions lead inexorably to tragedy.
Personal Enemy - written with Anthony Creighton and performed at Harrogate in 1955 - is set in America at the height of the McCarthy communist witch-hunts: a family whose eldest son was killed in the Korean war finds itself under intense pressure in the light of some devastating political and personal revelations.
This volume is edited with an introduction by Jamie Andrews, Head of Modern Literary Manuscripts at the British Library.
"They contain the seeds of the future. All the elements are there - a certain passion, a certain realism and a furious wronged hero." John Heilpern, The Times

An engrossing exploration of the British theatrical scene from one of Britain's most celebrated directors and playwrights
Apprenticeship
Peter Gill
"Peter Gill has created a characteristically beautiful little book... so faultlessly produced by Oberon Books... as to be a pleasure to hold in your hand... This is a book EP Thompson might have applauded, for it is a defence of fundamental class loyalty, of free thinking, inquiry, research and empiricism".
David Hare, The Guardian
Based on Gill's recently re-discovered diary dating back to his time acting in Brecht's Caucasian Chalk Circle at the RSC, Apprenticeship is a potent and captivating recollection of Gill's experiences of the changing theatrical landscape of the ‘60s, along with a fascinating depiction of his journey from being a young actor to becoming the renowned director and playwright of today.
Peter Gill is considered to be one of the most important directors of the last thirty years, his career beginning with the ground-breaking productions of plays by D H Lawrence, Heathcote Williams, and Joe Orton at the Royal Court Theatre, where he was Assistant Director and an Associate Director. Gill's own plays include The Sleepers Den (Royal Court, 1965), Over Gardens Out (Royal Court, 1968), Small Change (Royal Court, 1976), The York Realist (English Touring Theatre, 2001) and Original Sin (Sheffield, 2002).

Three exciting, provocative and thoughtful plays from Theatre Cafe, the European theatre project curated by Company of Angels.

Alex, a translator at Camp Zero, seeks to tell the world of the brutal regime within the camps, and finds his life is suddenly on the line. Survival is paramount, death may be inevitable, but the truth has to be told.

Plays One
Dennis Kelly
The four plays in this collection by Dennis Kelly are linked by their characters' desperate need to believe that there is more to life than the often brutal worlds in which they find themselves. Debris finds humour and pathos in a spectactularly dysfunctional family unit. The harrowing Osama the Hero shows a group of neighbours taking ill-defined revenge on an odd-ball teenager in a climate of fear. In After the End a woman discovers she has been rescued from Armageddon by a paranoid ex-colleague, and in a fractured narrative, Love and Money portrays a marriage driven to brutal destruction by financial pressures.

Waves
Devised by Katie Mitchell and company from the text of Virginia Woolf's novel The Waves
In 2006 Katie Mitchell and her collaborators devised an original work for the National Theatre which seamlessly transposed the pointillist vision of Virginia Woolf's experimental novel The Waves into an entirely new form. The intertwining narrative of six friends – from childhood to maturity and beyond – was rendered into a series of beautiful and poignant images onto a screen by live actors and musicians incorporating techniques taken from the theatre, radio and video production.
The book combines the text used from Woolf’s novel with the corresponding images in order to create a record of the production, and a work of art in its own right.
