Gregory Motton, short plays, volume one

Can you imagine a life with no ideas to hide behind? You are not a daring mutineer, you are one of the prisoners who most willingly collaborates with the guards. Gregory Motton's plays have been performed widely in Britain and abroad, including at the Royal Court Theatre, La Comédie Française and L'Odéon Théâtre de L'Europe. He has translated several volumes of Strindberg's plays, for which he was given the Göran O Eriksson Award by the Swedish Writers' Guild. He is also known for his polemic about the arts and politics, most noticeably his books Helping Themselves – The Left Wing Middle Classes In Theatre And The Arts, and for A Working Class Alternative To Labour. He has written over sixty plays and books, published by Penguin, Methuen, Oberon Books, Bloomsbury, Teatrales, Christian Bourgois, Det Norska Samlaget, Levellers Press and others. He has made five films.
