This is an edited volume of Margaret Drabble's two plays for the theatre. The original texts are included, after an ample introduction. In short, this is a critical edition of her plays, with essays from several contributors- Margaret Drabble's long affiliation with the theatrical world inspired her to experiment with the dramatic form. She wrote two plays, Laura (1964) and Bird of Paradise (1969). This penetrating new critical edition makes both plays available for the first time, giving Drabble fans a new vantage point from which to understand her work.
