Wrappers rubbed a bit else near fine. A controversial short play co-written by seven young British playwrights. Inscribed by two of the authors David Hare and Stephen Poliakoff.

The play was rejected by some theaters because of its subject matter: pornography rape sexual assault and was finally produced in another bar at 1:15 in the morning at the Edinburgh Festival.

"Most members of the Etymological Society wrote for the Philological Museum and in our effort to get at the community of background outlook and philological interest shared by the influential Cambridge scholars we may briefly consider that publication.

Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Rare and desirable signed. As a noted historian and social observer Theodore Roszak wrote "these images chronicle not just the spiritual desolation at the heart of an industrial society but also reflect Hare's own despair.

A chilling body of work that is a harsh indictment of the consequences of industrial production and the alienation it produces in the lives of individuals."
