File On Nichols
Peter Nichols
We are not short of good playwrights in Britain, but I know of none with Nichols' power to put modern Britain on the stage and send the spectators away feeling more like members of the human race (Irving Wardle, The Times).Among Nichols' most important plays are A Day in the Death of Joe Egg, The National Health and Forget-me-Not Lane.Writers-Files is an important series documenting the work of major dramatists of the last hundred years. Each volume contains a comprehensive checklist of all the writer's plays, with a detailed performance history, excerpted reviews and a selection of the writers' own comments on their work.>
