INCLUDES THE PLAYS THE KITCHEN, THE ROCKING HORSE KID, DENIAL AND WHEN
GOD WANTED A SON
This volume of Oberon Books' Wesker series includes the author's most
performed work The Kitchen (1957) produced in sixty cities from Rio de
Janeiro to Tokyo, from Paris to Moscow, from Montreal to Zurich.
This volume also contains Wesker's latest play The Rocking Horse Kid,
about a black boy who wants to go round the world on a horse; the
magical play for children Voices on the Wind and one of his most
controversial plays Denial about 'the false memory syndrome' declared
by an irate French critic of the Paris production '...a dangerous
play.Wesker is a dangerous playwright.'
He has also been described as 'a melancholy optimist' as evidenced by
another of the plays in thisvolume When God Wanted a Son which
explores the possibility that anti-Semitism like stupidity is in the
bloodstream of human nature and here to stay. Few playwrights dare be
as politically incorrect as Wesker.
