Product Description
Coinciding with the opening of his new play, this collection of writings forms an essential commentary on Michael Frayn's life and work.
Stage Directions covers half a lifetime and the whole range of Frayn's theatrical writing, right up to a new piece about his latest play, Afterlife. It is also a reflection on his path into theatre: the "doubtful beginnings" of his childhood, his subsequent scorn as a young man and, surprisingly late in life, his reluctant conversion.
