"David Edgar, like Balzac, seems to be the secretary for our times." – The Guardian This selection of David Edgar’s dramatic work features three plays: Ecclesiastes, a late 1970s radio play; his acclaimed stage version of Nicholas Nickleby; and Entertaining Strangers, an English left-wing social drama.Ecclesiastes is a radio play that looks at the rise and fall of a "fundamentalist" Christian clergyman in the US.Nicholas Nickleby: "With uncommon audacity Nicholas Nickleby not only takes on Dickens’ sprawling novel, it fractures all the petty limitations we have imposed upon the stage as well … A landmark." – New Statesman In Entertaining Strangers, a community constructs a nativity play: "English left-wing social drama at its sturdiest and finest: human, argumentative, utterly unafraid of human realities, and seething with indignation and compassion." – The Sunday Times
