Includes the plays No More A-Roving, Conditions of Agreement, Saint's Day and A Penny for a Song. John Whiting's power as a playwright is indisputable, yet in his lifetime he did not receive much critical acclaim or popular success. He died at the age of forty-six, a disillusioned man, despite the success of The Devils. In his plays he dealt with deeper issues in a way that was at odds with the kind of theatre fashionable in the Fifties. Working outside of the establishment, his work remains vibrant and fresh today. Edited and with introductory notes by Ronald Hayman.
