En savoir plus sur le livre
"David Hare's latest play – his wittiest and most assured yet – combines surrealism and satire in a breathlessly fast-moving plot when Curly Delafield, mercenary soldier and gun-runner, eturns to Guildford to find out what has happened to his sister Sarah… "Michael Billington said of the play in the Guardian "It's the kind of play I welcome on the West End stage: an attempt to use a pop format, in this case the hard-edged Mickey Spillane thriller, as a vehicle for moral comment … the play is consistently entertaining and, with pleasing irony, uses a commercial stage to atack the degradation of the profit motive." "The play first opened at the Comedy Theatre, London on 4 March 1974 with Edward Fox in the leading role." – from the inside front cover
