History

Griffiths, Trevor

Oxford University Press

'The setting is a schoolroom near Manchester where an evening class of budding comics congregate for a final briefing from their tutor before facing an agent's man from London. Telling jokes for money offers an escape from the building site or the milk round. But the humour is a deadly serious business that also involves anger, pain and truth.' Financial Times 'Trevor Griffiths has not shown his brilliance as a writer more clearly than in Comedians.' Daily Telegraph

The year is 1968; in Paris the événements - the student rising - are taking place. In the London drawing-room of a successful television producer a group of people meet to discuss the implications for them and their belief in a socialist society and how it can be achieved. The Party , commissioned by the National Theatre and with a cast including Laurence Olivier, Ronald Pickup, Frank Finlay and Denis Quilley, was first performed in 1973 and was revived by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1984.
