This collection brings together some of Alasdair Gray's best plays. This exciting work includes the unabridged scripts of four of his most famous dramas: The Fall of Kelvin Walker (1967) and Mavis Belfridge (1968) are both set in the '60s, the former a fable and the later a true tale. McGrotty and Ludmilla (1975), a political pantomime and 'the Modern Aladdin'; and Working Legs (1997), 'A Play for People Without Them'. These are combined with four one-act sexual comedies written in the '60s and '70s; The Loss of Golden Silence, Dialogue, Homeward Bound and Sand Lang and Miss Watson. Plus an intriguing glimpse at the, as yet unmade, Lanark movie with sections of the original storyboard.
