This book contains three very different plays which have won writing commendations and have been performed successfully at drama festivals throughout the UK. One is contemporary, another set in the Great War and the third set in 1850s. Each brings charm, humour and, of course, drama to the stage. Comments from independent adjudicators about Christopher Kell plays: ' ... superior, well-crafted play penned with panache and humility, which builds to a stunning conclusion.... sure to make a riveting piece of theatre...' ' ...the flow of dialogue is very impressive indeed...splendid characters... switch of time and character is one of its great strengths...an underlying pathetic quality behind the humour that I found most appealing...manifests itself effectively in the denouement...' '...beautifully drawn characters and splendid variation in emotional attack ....The pace of the dialogue is quite breathtaking....I'm sure there are many societies that would welcome the opportunity to tackle such a fine piece of dramatic work.
