The latest collection of plays by one of Europe’s most important playwrights.THE CRIME OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: The past has been abolished and geography – even the sky – is changed.

Evening. A man tries to talk to his daughter. She will not answer. Slowly their world turns to tragedy and a search begins that lasts for years.COFFEE: A young man alone in a room. A stranger enters. Together they journey into a dark forest…When the men return to the daylight world, they are involved in a trivial incident. It is hardly more than a gesture – yet it is something that once happened and in its triviality captures the history of our century and confronts us with the deepest questions about ourselves."A great playwright – many, particularly in continental Europe, would say the greatest living English playwright." Independent"A play by one of Britain’s greatest playwrights is an event." TES
