Synopsis "Alan Ayckbourn Plays 1: "Chorus of Disapproval", "Small Family Business", "Henceforward", "Man of the Moment" vol 1 (Contemporary Classics)"
The first volume of Alan Aykbourn's collected work contains his morality plays from the 1980s. A Chorus of Disapproval 'Plunges us into an amateur operatic society production of The Beggar's Opera. The result is magnificent comedy, symmetrically, psychologically acute and painfully, heartbreakingly funny' -Guardian- A Small Family Business 'A sizzling comedy' from a playwright 'who possesses an unnerving and unflinching insight into the ways of the suburban world'. -Time Out- Henceforward 'That resourceful stage magician, Alan Ayckbourn, has produced another dazzling display of theatrical alchemy. It is impossible to think of any other British dramatist who could write a science fiction play, complete with robots, high-tech gadgets and banks of winking electronic equipment and transform it into a superbly constructed comedy that also encompasses moments of desperate human sadness'. -Daily Telegraph- Man of the Moment 'This is Ayckbourn at the peak of his powers using comedy to say harsh, true things about our society. With the cleansing force of a satirist, he suggest we are constantly fed a doctored version of reality in which virtue is treated as disposable and even as sexy. What he has written is a tonic comedy that defends traditional values without a trace of moral sentetiousness'. -Guardian-
