METHUEN'S NEW THEATRESCRIPTS series aims to close the gap between the appearance of new work in the theatre and its publication in script form, and to make available new or unconventional work which might otherwise not appear in print. 'The prospect of a playwright being published as well as seen is not as rosy these days. It's therefore a welcome sight to find Methuen launching a cheap, accessible, easily readable series of paperbacks.' Steve Grant, Time Out Vissza
