The Second Mrs Tanqueray: Oberon Modern Plays

Autor Arthur Wing Pinero Introducere de Stephen Unwin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 sep 2012
When Aubrey Tanqueray marries for the second time, he knows that his new wife, Paula, is a 'woman with a past'. But he has no idea how that past will catch up with himin the end.

More probing than Oscar Wilde, more accessible than Ibsen, Pinero's The Second Mrs Tanqueray (1893) is one of the masterpieces of the Victorian theatre: sexy, dramatic, funny and very moving.

Recenzii

The illusion of Victorian solidity conjured to perfection.
Poetic, fast-paced and worth the trip.
Fascinating.
Compelling throughout - an intriguingly conflicted play.
